Becoming a teacher

Since I love to write about things that make me wonder how my future will be like. I was pondering about the idea on how close I am getting my degree in Elementary Education. I have several friends who are teachers and I do learn from about their mistakes as well as how they react to each child.

As an example, my good friend is a 2nd grade teacher and he tells me that there are couple of his students who seems to push his buttons no matter how he tries to be friendly with them. After hearing stories like that, I wonder if I would be an effective teacher that will make a last impression in each child's ability to learn. I sometimes get scared about hearing from the first year teachers that it is tough and what they have learned from their studies that it is totally different from what they have expected. One of them even remarked that all of the mock classroom managment plans and classroom safety plan doesn't really work out during their first year teaching.

Of course, I have been thinking on how I am suppose to deal with parents who will find anything to bitch and moan about when it comes to their children.

Right now, I am glad that I am taking a course that deals with issues of parents, bad students, and/or bad administration.

Wish me luck.
