Cat, I told you to lay off the pixie sticks....

But you said nothing about the little paper tubes filled with sugar!

So what made everyone want to become a teacher?

The idea of helping someone find out their future.

So what made everyone want to become a teacher?

Oh God, everything about it! I adore kids and I absolutely love helping someone grow to be better. Through tons and tons of tutoring, I know it's definitely something I want to get into. Both my parents are teachers and so is my uncle... so I know and understand the pros and cons of the whole deal.

The salary may not be much...but the "pay" is far more than most careers...how many careers can you walk away from thinking, "I helped so many kids today grow and develop into who they are".

Try telling me in a straight face that it isn't worth it when you are holding a note from a kid saying, "Thank you for teaching me what you did because if I didn't know it, I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today and where I am is my ultimate goal in life. Thank you for getting me here".

I want to be either an elementary school teacher or a highschool English teacher. I just love children, and I love our age group too. I just know what it's like to have a really good English teacher get you all revved up about Shakespeare. It's an awesome thing.

Yea to that, my friend! lol.

I will never be a teacher.
I have a hard time explaining things like what happened last night on tv to my friends, let alone math, science or french. English, I could do.

But I do admire teachers who go out of their way to make people understand, who do extra stuff for their students. Why? Because they don't have to. And they make a difference in our society. I like teachers who don't only teach, but try to get to know their students, and be friendly. I like teachers who will start off the class with a quote or something that will enlighten us about things. My tech teacher read us a story about a man who did everything for his son, who was stuck in a wheel chair, and had no eyes. The boy had very little use of his limbs, but loved marching band. His father helped him do things he loved, and learn. And these lectures I get, make me really think.
Most of my teachers are hardly qualified, their either always bringing personal problems to school and don't even read our work. And I'm only talking about my teachers this year. A lot of teachers I've had, I loved.

I like the teachers who actually take the time to explain it, why it works, and how it works. My math teacher tries to do it, but alas, at least she tries.

I want to be a teacher, but not sure on the subject.

Twelve Reasons I Want To Be A Music Teacher!
1. Early musical training helps develop brain areas involved in language and reasoning. It is thought that brain development continues for many years after birth. Recent studies have clearly indicated that musical training physically develops the part of the left side of the brain known to be involved with processing language, and can actually wire the brain's circuits in specific ways. Linking familiar songs to new information can also help imprint information on young minds.
2. There is also a causal link between music and spatial intelligence (the ability to perceive the world accurately and to form mental pictures of things). This kind of intelligence, by which one can visualize various elements that should go together, is critical to the sort of thinking necessary for everything from solving advanced mathematics problems to being able to pack a book-bag with everything that will be needed for the day.
3. Students of the arts learn to think creatively and to solve problems by imagining various solutions, rejecting outdated rules and assumptions. Questions about the arts do not have only one right answer.
4. Recent studies show that students who study the arts are more successful on standardized tests such as the SAT. They also achieve higher grades in high school.
5. A study of the arts provides children with an internal glimpse of other cultures and teaches them to be empathetic towards the people of these cultures. This development of compassion and empathy, as opposed to development of greed and a "me first" attitude, provides a bridge across cultural chasms that leads to respect of other races at an early age.
6. Students of music learn craftsmanship as they study how details are put together painstakingly and what constitutes good, as opposed to mediocre, work. These standards, when applied to a student's own work, demand a new level of excellence and require students to stretch their inner resources.
7. In music, a mistake is a mistake; the instrument is in tune or not, the notes are well played or not, the entrance is made or not. It is only by much hard work that a successful performance is possible. Through music study, students learn the value of sustained effort to achieve excellence and the concrete rewards of hard work.
8. Music study enhances teamwork skills and discipline. In order for an orchestra to sound good, all players must work together harmoniously towards a single goal, the performance, and must commit to learning music, attending rehearsals, and practicing.
9. Music provides children with a means of self-expression. Now that there is relative security in the basics of existence, the challenge is to make life meaningful and to reach for a higher stage of development. Everyone needs to be in touch at some time in his life with his core, with what he is and what he feels. Self-esteem is a by-product of this self-expression.
10. Music study develops skills that are necessary in the workplace. It focuses on "doing," as opposed to observing, and teaches students how to perform, literally, anywhere in the world. Employers are looking for multi-dimensional workers with the sort of flexible and supple intellects that music education helps to create as described above. In the music classroom, students can also learn to better communicate and cooperate with one another.
11. Music performance teaches young people to conquer fear and to take risks. A little anxiety is a good thing, and something that will occur often in life. Dealing with it early and often makes it less of a problem later. Risk-taking is essential if a child is to fully develop his or her potential.
12. An arts education exposes children to the incomparable.

Now you see why I think that music in our schools is very important and I want to contribute to keeping it in schools. When it comes to where I want to teach, I don't know about leaving my home state of Ohio. Doesn't pay much, but the best part about making music a career is that you have many options to make money. I could get job(s) playing the saxophone somewhere while I'm teaching, or I could be a music teacher and teach private lessons to make a little more money. The possibilities are almost endless.

Wow. Just. Wow.

I can fit into several of these categories, playing two instruments myself.
