I am currently a teacher of English as a Second Language to adults in a private school, but I have been thinking about getting state-certified to teach ESL to children/teenagers in public schools. I know that teaching children is going to be very different from teaching adults, and I also know that the public schools are very different now than they were when I was a student. For example, there are a lot more physical security precautions. In your opinion, what are the biggest challenges you have to face as a public school teacher? Do you have sufficient freedom to educate or do you feel like you are micromanaged or have your hands tied by administration? I have always been interested in teaching the middle school level, which comes with its own uniqueness as well, but since I have been teaching adults (and love it) I have thought more about teaching high school level, older students. What advice would you give someone seeking certification?
