[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone! I'm new to DC, and I'm interested in becoming a teacher. I would like to shadow elementary, middle, and high school first so that way I can decide if I should get my degree in elementary education, middle, or secondary. Do you guys have any recommendations for the best schools that I could shadow? I know that a lot of people that become teachers can have an awful time due to a lot of factors, and some of it can easily come down to the school. I want to give this a fair shot. Thank you![/quote]

Are you looking for the best schools in terms of "quality" or the best schools that would give a fair representation of what teaching in an urban district is like? If it's the former I call troll [/quote]

I stated specifically in my post that 'teachers can have an awful time due to a lot of factors', specifically meaning that it can come down to how well supported they are in terms of staff/administration, how well supported the kids are, etc. Before I graduated high school, I went to several different ones and my experience at each one was vastly different. Some of them were a better experience that made me feel more comfortable with the idea of being a teacher, others I was treated horribly and the administrations of the school did not care about their students, and it was a lot of shady things going on. So, in terms of your question, I would like a more fair or accurate representation of what it's like to work in a school without having to worry (as much) about the possibility of those things happening. I know that some unfortunate things can be inevitable, I am aware of that. But I am aware that certain schools can either make your life as a teacher hell, or with a better supported staff/administration, and schools that actually care about the well being of their kids and try their best to show it, can make your life as a teacher great. I don't know if you guys get trolls or something often or not, I'm new to this site and was recommended it by a person, but I'm not really interested in doing any of that. I'm interested in asking for advice to lessen my chances of being exploited like a lot of other teachers go through.[/quote]
