Mind = BLOWN. What I realized about most teachers...

[kidgorgeous]

I work for a huge company that owns few major LLC's. CEO once came to our place. I had a chance to ask him about his education. Anyways, dude built himself from scratch and now making serious money. Have a masters in Business. Told me that most teachers are morons who failed to make something of themselves so they teach to stay employed. Teaching doesn't pay well, there are only few who truly desire to teach. People who are getting in debt to get educated, and stay in school for years desire to make more money.

thats funny because I also work for a huge company that owns few major LLC's. CEO once came to our place. I had a chance to ask him about his education.

Oh look, another idiot

I'm not saying I agree with him, but there is some truth to that.

[Darknightbegins]

No idea if OP is right. I will say that I don't feel bad at all that teachers make what they make.

Brb union so don't work over like 45 hours a week
Brb basically work half the year when factoring in all the cot damn vacation time you have
Brb pension/benefits

They don't have it that bad when you consider how much work they really do.

teachers, good ones at least, work several hours outside of the classroom preparing materials and keeping up with the paperwork. the perk of being a teacher is you have summer off. most people generally say it's easy, but then again, most people would pull their hair out spending 9 months out of the year locked in a building with the youths of america. most decent jobs have pensions and benefits, too.

I would imagine after the first couple of years, it's all regurgitated **** you prepared in your first couple of years.

[Trapstar4.4]

In college I had some monster profs

One guy who was a VP at suntrust during the day taught part time at night
Dude was Chinese and would always talk about traffic and population in china lol
Had more than a few others who had legit day jobs

The legit profs are those where you have to attend their class to pass. This because they aren't teaching verbatim from the book

what job do you not become more well-versed in as you do it for a longer period of time? how is teaching any different than becoming an accountant? you learn more and more about the profession as you do it longer.

it's not like you can just make up new material to teach to a chemistry or calculus class, but you can absolutely change your methods and materials you use in your classroom as the years go on.

Teacher checking in. Allot of teachers are ****, but some are incredible. A good teacher has a huge impact on the kids they teach.

Edit: About the money, good teachers don't do it for the money. I quit my job making waay more $, because this is what I love to do.

[DemFaceGenes]

you cannot teach, at least k-12, in the united states without an education degree.

No. To teach elementary you need to major in Education, but for secondary (high school), you can major in that specific subject. (i.e. majoring in Psychology and teaching Psychology and other social sciences). Though you can also teach secondary with an Education degree. At least, that is how it is here in New Jersey.

[OmgNewb]

don't know dat feel most of my high school teachers were legit

2 of my history teacher's were smart as fuk and enjoyed teaching

you need a teaching certificate. how you go about obtaining that is dependent on what state you live in.

True, I forgot to mention the certificate part - that is required, but not necessarily a degree in edumacation.

[KrulWarrior]

generally you get a certificate through the degree. degree programs (length of time, required courses, etc) differ state to state.

I teach English now, graduated when I was 19- subbed since I had my Associates degree.

[kidgorgeous]

so what's the point of saying the material is the same after 2 years? of course it becomes easier, what job doesn't? strong retard.

Nice , what grade dou teach?

[folly412]

Remember being at a friend's apartment in school and her roommate came home with a sock puppet. Turned out that was a senior year project for education majors. And the colorings on the refrigerator? Nope, not someone's little niece, another assignment in college education classes. Yes, srs to both. Three roommates, one performing detailed financial evaluations of companies in a specific industry, one showing how to make who knows what chemical compound, the other gluing those fake plastic eyes on a sock.

They were most likely the dumb kids in college who couldn't handle a real major and picked education instead. Most of them barely know anything and aren't very intelligent. No hate on them, personality should be a big factor in teaching kids too but we should start putting more tax money into teacher wages to attracted smarter people. I imagine most teachers used to be an education sloot who says "omg I lluuuvv kids"

What did you think they were? Successful, intelligent people?

[johnnycash123]

In Finland a teacher for any grade gets paid and is respected the same as a doctor or lawyer. They actually try to make sure every kid understand what they are doing rather than just repeating what the text book says and telling kids to study. In return they are number 1 in the world in education. Problem in north america is teachers can't get fired because on the union and have to seriously **** up bad. After a few years they stop caring about teaching and just free ride it. Think about when you were in school and compare the fresh young teachers to the old timers srs.

This is how it should be in every country teachers should get paid close to doctors or lawyers then it will be much more competitive to get into teaching at uni. Less retards teaching.

[aloneforever111]

strong negs, I was obviously talking about K-12 and not college professors.

[BENNAYBOY]

I go to a teaching school and all people who want to be teachers have to double major in education and a secondary field. I know some people who do mathematics as their second major.

[ProtonFart]

You're rustlin me pretty fukin hard brah. Do you know how much knowledge it takes on a subject to be able to get up and lecture for 45 minutes-1.5 hours? Every single day? That's how much my high school teachers lectured. Also, I'd say a quarter of teachers at my school are retired and teach because they want to and for extra income. Brb teaching Calculus BC to dumb high school students and having to know the subject well enough to answer any and of their questions. All 3 (yes three) of my high school English teachers were really fukin wise and could write better than me any day.


Unless you didn't go to a Catholic private school like me, and went to a public school where the teachers just clock in for their paycheck and hand out worksheets. Then I can understand your erroneous thinking.

[muscle beast]

This thread is fukn retarded. I many friends in college that went for their education credentials because they had a passion to teach/instruct those in their younger years. OP you're an idiot...

[TheJediBrah]

Not sure if trolling, but this is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.

do this and watch the entire economy collapse
