[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is a rising senior in one of the MCPS magnet programs; she has a near perfect unweighted/weighted GPA; has scored only 4s or 5s on several AP exams taken so far; and has received no score lower than a 700 on any portion of the SAT exam.  She's looking at colleges and focusing on those that have "good education programs" because she wants to be a teacher (in particular, or at least for now, she wants to be a primary school teacher so that she can teach kids how to "read and write" -- two of her greatest joys).  It seems to me that the MCPS Troll Playground thread has evolved into an interesting discussion about the teaching profession  . . . So I'd like to hear from others (teachers in particular) who may not be following that thread on whether, if you were in my position, you'd encourage your child to pursue teaching as a profession or would you push them toward another profession.

This thread has run off the rails, but I would do as others have said and encourage her to find good all-around colleges, and eventually major in a liberal arts or science field with a double-major or concentration in education. [/quote]
