Check with your local community college to see if they have non-credit community electives taught by non-certified people who just love what their doing. That's about as far as you can get.\n\nIf you really are serious about becoming a career teacher, then you must go on to get the degree(s) and certifications. Check with your university advising center.

The most rewarding part of being a primary school teacher is to help the children to learn. This is important because not every child has a family that is supportive enought to help them along in their learning prorcess. As a result, sometimes being a teacher can means being a role model and a parent as to the children as well.

That depends on the job you are interviewing for. \n\nPreschool teacher=empathetic, caring, helpful, patient.\n\nRealtor= tenacious, risk taker, can think on your feet.\n\nEtc.

Oh, my gosh... you want to be a teacher but you aren't able to put together a decent classroom presentation by yourself?  What the heck do you think teaching is?\n\nEither get your act together, or choose a different career!

Ask yourself what it is about teaching that you like.\n\nAsk yourself what you don't like.\n\n(Not many of us would put writing lesson plans at the top of our I-just-love-it list.)\n\nOnly you can know whether you will want to continue this as a career.\n\nWhat I can tell you as a teacher with since 1977, is that whole children come into your classroom every day. Some have wonderful lives. Others come from unspeakably awful situations. They are all kids. They all need to be cared for and challenged and supported.\n\nThe teachers who "make it" in the long term learn about boundaries. We know what we can do and what we can't. We are optomisitic, but not sentimental about the future. We understand ourselves and keep expanding that understanding. Most of us could make much more money doing almost anything else, but we do what we do because internally, we have no choice.\n\nChalk dust runs in my veins and in the times of my life when there was no paying job in teaching available, I taught anyone who stood still long enough anything I knew and thought the onther person should know, just like I'm doing now.\n\nIf you MUST teach, you will find the stamina to do it. If there is no inner need to do it, you can still give it a shot, but you will either discover the joy, or quit after a short time.\n\nIn any case, find a mentor, a local teacher you admire who is willing to stand by you as you make these big decisions.\n\nBest wishes.

To be a *good* teacher is a calling... to want to help children, to educate, esc. Some people who are called and not, well, the summer vacation is attractive. Also, although the pay isn't great, it's stable and in this economy, thats a big plus. Add a good retirement and benifits package and you've got yourself a decent living. \n\nBut, like I said, a lot of people who go into it *just* for those reasons are the kind of teacher that everyone hates.. the mean teacher, the apathetic teacher. The good teacher truly has a calling to do what he/she does.

As an educator a teacher should teach the required materials on subjects, aid in teaching the next level of social skills(even if the parents haven't done their part),boost all students egos and desire to learn, council as needed, recognize problems with emotions,physical,abuse,educational,financial or any other problem a student may have that is keeping them from performing their best and be on good terms with the child so the teacher may have a positive discussion and help with the problem or give suggestions for ways for the parents to get the child help, and keep up with all fund raiser money, notes and calls to parents, homework, grading,lesson planning, after school activities leader, and be cheerful and always present. As learning from the student a teacher must be open to new ways to communicate with students and learn new ways to teach as well as make students behave.The teacher will improve by dealing with many student conflicts/issues whether or not they are educational or affect educational purposes.The teacher will try methods that may work with one class but not the next and have to figure out how to meet the next classes needs.Over trial and error the teacher will learn how to meet the needs of most students. The teacher is also attending classes to keep up with the states requirements and/or to recieve their masters or above or administration degree or to teach other classes.The teacher is a constant learner and teacher. Teaching isn't in the classroom only and learning doesn't only happen from a desk.They are both ongoing and a responsibility a person must accept as a teacher.

I think children should be taught that learning is something we do throughout life, not just to get through school.  They should be taught that a job well done is its own reward.  They need to learn to be self-motivated, independent thinkers.\n\nAs a parent, I try to instill these ideas in my children.  The best teachers are those that, whatever the subject matter, stress discovery, learning and responsibility.\n\nThanks for the work you do!

As with all professions, there are people who really like what they do AND are good at teaching. There are others who like what they do BUT are not any good at explaining anything, or simply lack the knowledge (believe me, I work at a school for teachers and some are abysmally ignorant!! and still get to go out and teach). And there are others who don´t like teaching but have to do it (because of the pay, or academic requirements). Those are the worst, I think. \nBut luckily you'll have a good mix of different kinds of teachers. Next time that you feel like attacking a teacher, please stop and think that maybe he/she's just tired and disheartened, and needs some good attitude from the students. I know that a good response works for me!

I am still in school! What is that shit! Anyway, there are nice teachers who do their job well and try not to show favoritism, just as there are teachers who do not. High school teachers are generally not as open as Middle school teachers.

I am a math teacher. In my school only a math teacher would teach remedial math, or only an English teacher would teach a remedial English class. In Texas the standards are extremely high to be a teacher. If a teacher is not "highly qualified" they are not allowed to teach any core subject.

Face it, who is getting paid to "teach" the children, Teachers are.  In todays society, people want someone else to blame and since we are getting paid to work with the children, we shoulder the blame.  It is not fair, I agree.  When I see a child for 45 min. a day, approximately 180 days a year, I should not be the fall-guy.  Get real!

Actually, School is an important life skill!  If no one went to school, how do we have computers, bombs, lights, speakers, mp3, pencils, mirrors????  This all come from science, a part of school learning.  Don't you want a good job that might put you in charge and not have to do as much work?
