[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't do it!

I'm a high school English teacher, and I actively discourage any young person from following this path.  Teaching and education have changed and devolved radically over the past 20 years.  It is a difficult job and the behavior of students and disrespect from parents will have you questioning your life choices as you sit down for yet another multi-hour grading fest in the evening or on the weekend.

almost everyone these days would tell you not to do whatever career they are in. they think the grass is greener elsewhere. not true.  every profession has changed and devolved radically over the last decade or so. not just teaching. all jobs are difficult.  all jobs involving the general public will involve dealing with disrespect.  all jobs will have you questioning your life choices.  just because a job is tough and has changed and has to deal with people and pay has gone down and workload has gone up ...does not make it a bad job. all professions could have written the PP.  choose what you love and what you think you'll be happy doing and do it.
