[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it looks like you're looking for reasons to tell your DD not to head into education. If you'd care to share your own concerns (burn out? low pay? little respect? she should be "saving the world" as Secretary of State instead of one kid at a time?), then perhaps you might get some more focused answers.

Conversely, is there anything DD has expressed that makes you think she might be a great, or not-so-great,teacher?[/quote]

No, I'm not "looking for reasons . . . not to head into education."  Instead, I posted an open-ended question to get the views/opinions/thoughts of others (in particular, teachers) on what they would do if they were in my position -- i.e., the parent of a student who is most/more interested in becoming a teacher but whose academic profile (equally strong in math/science as in language arts) would allow her to pursue other interests as well.   I was very intrigued by the poster who replied "hell no" -- and so followed-up in the hope that he/she would be willing to expand on that reply.  By the way, thank you to all the other posters too -- you've provided just the type of information I was looking for in switching over this thread.    [/quote]
