[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]K-12 public school teaching will never attract high achievers. It is not an intellectually challenging profession that these type of people generally seek. For one, they are teaching basic subject matter- year after year. Second, they are largely doing a lot of parenting and behavioral management. [/quote] Not intellectually challenging? Are you joking? [/quote] Teaching is extremely intellectually challenging. You are literally making thousands of decisions all day without lack of “flow”. It is roughly comparable to a broker on the stock market floor on a busy day. Teachers are constantly forced to re educate ourselves on topics, students, and procedures. No day is ever the same. For the right personality this is one of the reasons people are attracted to teaching.[/quote]
