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.

Guess you wont know until you try.  I spent four years of college to be a teacher, did student teaching and hated it.  I felt the same as you...loved kids, projected well, had lots of friends but teaching was not for me.  I wish I had been able to do student teaching before I finsished college with a degree in education.  In my days, student teaching was the last thing you did before graduation.  I love the teaching aspect but could not get on with administration.  Because I was sensitive to the needs of kids, I had issues with the curriculum not meeting the needs of individuals.  Only trying teaching will help you know and let your mum eat cake while you try.  Maybe she's right, maybe not..only you can know and you cant know til you try.

People who are looking to find a teacher will not be looking here. I would suggest looking up all the montessori preschools in your area, as far as you are willing to travel every day. Go and hand in your resume and offer yourself as a casual teacher. When a job does become available, they will offer it to you because you know the kids, staff and routine and they have seen what a great worker you are.\n\nOtherwise, look in the local classifieds.

This is a subjective question with too many variables that we're not priivy to. A generic answer would be, no one is never too late to teach elementary school. The only prerequisites for a goood teacher arethat you be caring, creative, and patient.

It really depends a lot on you and your personality.  Some people wouldn't teach anything but junior high and some people wouldn't teach anyone older than a kindergartener.  I think you could maybe spend some time around kids of different ages and see which ones you'd like to work with.

You must be patient, you must care about your kids, and you must have a genuine interest in helping them learn and grow.  Without these things, teaching is a bad idea.

I can't really understand your question as you have apparently left some words out.  But in the US there are many unfilled public school teaching positions.  So a certified teacher should have no problem finding a position, especially in larger cities...the problem comes in on trying to live on the meager wages offered.

It is important that you have an interest or a passion to become a primary school teacher, if not then i think its not worth it. You can only progress in your job if you have an interest otherwise you will be gutted that you ever took on the job.

teaching is the building block.. and with each goal they want to achieve, support them. but allow them to do it. \n the web below is a freebie thats how i started them off.

In this age of mass higher education, there are more and more students receiving less and less teaching.  The ability to learn independently and to be self-motivated is critical to success, especially in higher education.  If students are spoon-fed in secondary school, they will find the transition to higher education a great shock.  \n\nIn the UK, it is probably independent schools that spoon-feed their students the most.  This spoon-feeding is effective at getting students into university but, once there, former independent school students are more likely to drop out.

Very few people with real ability in math and sciences also have the personality type that enjoys teaching... or feels drawn in any way to the teaching profession.\n\nThere are some, that are both excellent at math or science, and have received the "calling." You just have to shop around.

Teaching may be your gift in the Spirit. Go for it! I still want to be a teacher when I grow up (I'm 22, but still... :) ), and I already teach dance and PE at a Christian school. I started with teaching guitar in High School. The world needs lights for Jesus, and teaching is such a rewarding-- but exhausting-- lifestyle.
