I am going on my sixth year of teaching kindergarten.

I'm currently a camp director for a children's camp and I really think I would love to teach someday.

I only have one year left in college, and I'm still trying to decide what I want to do... sigh.

I am in my third year.

First year = 3rd grade all subjects
Second year = 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th grade Civics and World Geography
Third year (just signed my transfer papers today = 6th & 7th grade Social Studies

if I were 22 again and I saw what was happening to the U.S. education system, I'd certainly think twice and probably do something else.

I wonder about this myself. I think I would have taught for a few years and then gone onto something else. I do enjoy it, but the test prep mentality that is sweeping the nation makes me uneasy. Kids want to know if they "have to know it for the test." I fear that some are losing the desire to learn for the sake of learning.

Anyways...I think you can always find a preschool job. You have more flexibility. However, salaries are VERY low for that type of teacher. Of course, you could open your own preschool or move to the level of director to increase your wages.

I'm a teacher without a classroom...earned my credential 3 years ago and have been subbing ever since. I did become a temporary first-grade teacher and had a classroom for almost the whole year, but am still hoping for a permanent position this fall. It's so disheartening sometimes because I'm so ready and there just aren't enough jobs for us with budget cuts. Good luck to all of us!

I am proud to say that I am a special education teacher (k-5).

Me! I teach high school science: Biology, Integrated Science-9, and Biomedical Sciences (PLTW if any of you are familiar with that program).

Most days I LOVE teaching high school, some days I think I would be happy doing anything besides teaching. I love the students and teaching part, HATE the dealing with overbearing parents part... GRR (like when it becomes MY fault that their kid can't get their homework done on time!).

I am high school biology teacher. I finished school about 6 years ago (my second time through college) and have been subbing since. It was a great arrangement when my daughter was born about a year after I got my license, but I'm ready to be in a classroom full time. I've done a lot of long term jobs the past couple of years, including summer school this year, which have been great, but I'm tired of being the sub!

Teaching sucks......IJS.....

My husband and I both are in school to become teachers. I have decided to make sure healthy habits are a big part of my classroom.

I haven't had to do any school for it. But I am a preschool teachers assistant.

I am! I taught special education for 17 years, third grade for one, and now teach first, second and third grades in our district's only public Montessori school. I've been teaching for 21 years.

I am also a teacher. I have taught 4th grade for 3 years, and this upcoming school year I am moving to pre-k. You are going to need lots of energy

The last two years I taught 9th grade English and English Honors, and next year I am supposed to go to 10th grade but there are a TON of variables up in the air right now

I just finished my masters program in Special Education and plan to teach this fall. I really hope to find something. I have been getting interviews but no offers just yet. I have my fingers crossed.
