[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP from a rural area where teachers are respected. I think a lot of people are confusing the strenuousness or ease of the college classes for teaching with the actual social/emotional skills it takes to teach. Those skills are what makes teaching hard... kids are so different. You are dealing with personalities and different home support and different parent personalities and expectations. Having the social and emotional IQ to react to all of those variable AND still get the kids to learn something is quite a feat. The substance of the academics is not the "hard" part of teaching -- that's where people who claim Education degrees are easy are missing the boat. Criminal Justice classes are pretty easy too -- same with psych -- but being a police officer or therapist is HARD. Same with teachers. It's the art that's hard, not the technical substance.[/quote]
