is teaching profession a good option in America??

Answer 1

Only if you have supportive parents and principal. It is honorable, low paying, a lot of work, rewarding. Do it because you like teaching and kids, not for the money.

Answer 2

It depends on your definition of "good".

Many people enjoy teaching because they see it as an opportunity to give back to the community, and they enjoy working with children or teens. Teachers really have the ability to make impact on their students' lives, and in that sense, it's a very good profession.

However, there are some things about the public school system in the United States that make it difficult for good, passionate teachers to do their work. Many teachers are burdened by administrations that seem to be out of touch with what really goes on in the classroom. The federal government and other organizations impose standards on teachers that make many teachers feel that it's impossible to teach all the material in one year. In addition, parents seem to be less and less involved in their children's education, making teachers feel even more of a burden and responsibility for helping the children learn. Also, teachers in many states are paid much less than people are in other professions. These factors often lead excellent teachers to get out of teaching early in their careers, either seeking jobs in administration or other fields. Those teachers who are still in the classroom are either idealogues or burned out individuals who don't have other kinds of training and are thus forced to teach.

In addition, attitudes toward women in the past limited the kinds of careers that young women could prepare for and do. Some young women in the United States still feel that being a teacher, a secretary, or a nurse are the only real career options that they can do. As a result, some people who would probably enjoy other fields much more get into teaching because they don't realize that there are other choices.

So, many teachers in the public school systems in the United States are frustrated with the low pay for the incredible burden of work they have to do. Nevertheless, there are still some excellent teachers in the public schools and many people still find teaching a rewarding profession.

Answer 3

That depends. If you actually give a damn about the students, unlike the vast majority of teachers, then this is a job for you. We need more teachers that support the kids. If you're just in it for the paycheck, then don't waste your time and my fellow students' education and find something else to do. Not to insult my country, but our public school system is a joke. And Who's to blame? Teacher's unions. Reason being is that it is so hard to fire bad teachers, and reward the good ones with higher pay because of the unions, some teachers get lazy and the good ones get fed up and decide it's not worth it, and they just up and quit. And we wonder why our public schools suck......
