I think I would just honestly explain what makes teaching worthwhile, and what makes it challenging. I'd say that the children are definitely the most worthwhile aspect of teaching. Nothing beats the feeling of knowing you have made a positive difference in the life of a child. When a child asks you a question that tells you he is listening and wants to know more, or doesn't quite understand so please try again...when she gives you that smile that says I find something to love in you, even though most of my life is awful...when their faces light up with that Ah Ha! glow that tells you have turned on the light for them. There isn't any feeling that compares with those moments.
Challenging? It can be those same children, when they're not listening, when they don't like you (because even the ones that love you don't always like you!), when you see that blank look that says Are you speaking the same language as me? But of course, there's ALWAYS the challenge of money. There's never enough to give the kids the experiences you really want to give. But a creative teacher will find a way to do it anyway. And bureaucracy. Sometimes you KNOW what is best, but it just isn't politically correct, or it doesn't fit in with the administration's plan, or it isn't the most current educational trend. Oh well. A good teacher will struggle to find a way to use the current method, current trend, current politically correct philosophy, to benefit the children anyway.
If this doesn't appeal to them, then maybe they're not cut out to teach. It really isn't the job for everybody.

Well I think a lot more people would become teachers if it didn't cost so much to get your credential. Plus CSATs, tests to get subject matter certification before you start the program, are like 75 dollars each and you have to take at least 3 unless you took a bunch of classes instead. They need to make it easier to become a teacher. We shouldn't be paying to student-teach. We should be getting payed lol! And even after you get the credential you have to go through 2 more years of meeting with an advisor and setting goals and stuff. I'm not saying all this is worthless but I think it does discourage people from being teachers. We need to lower the standards because right now we have the highly qualified teachers who do go through all the hoops and then we have the emergency subs who didn't have to do anything to get there. I would rather have more qualified teachers and less subs.

#a million: My canines. below ordinary picture. #2: Lake. particularly relatively uninteresting and desires a various attitude. The content cloth and composition is 'huge-unfold beginner'. #3: Lake lower back. No. much extra 'huge-unfold beginner' #4: Bee. considered this bee-on-flower macro shot tens of millions of circumstances and, right here, concentration is serious and it is not recent. lower back, attitude and composition are lacking in creativity. There - I even have been elementary and blunt with you. in case you may desire to recent a portfolio to qualify as a student, i does no longer tutor those 4. Do something else speedy. while you're ranging from scratch on a photographs direction, then those would be a foundation for discovering from yet that is approximately it. sturdy success. so some distance as a occupation in photographs is in touch, think of long and puzzling. the superb opportunities come to those with obtrusive expertise and, even then, that could be a lot from basic. it is not as glamorous as might seem from the different ingredient of the fence. lower back, sturdy success. I want you nicely.
