    I too teach preschool, have for ten years. Before that I taught high school. I often say they were actually quite similar! :laugh: Yes, stressful but very rewarding! LOVE SUMMERTIME! I just had my third child who is 7 months old. My goal is to lose the baby weight before school starts up again! I want to buy new school clothes!!!

    I teach band. I've been teaching music for 6 years now. Super busy job- I get to school at 6:30 am and leave after 6 PM most nights plus work on a lot of Saturdays. I'm continuing to struggle with the balance so I can make me more of a priority.

    I retired from Public school as a teacher for 27 years, and loved every minute of it. I am now teaching the Developmentally challenged on the college campus. I feel so blessed because I have touched so many lives. Kids are very honest and will tell you what they think of your shape. Again, just be honest and explain to them that obesity starts when you are a child and they should be very careful with their choices. Kids are so special.

    I'm halfway through my bachelor's degree in elementary education, and I'm just picking up a minor in coaching! I need to be a healthy influence on my students and team members.

    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!

    ^^^My story also. Graduated in '09 for Social Studies. In the rural area I live in, the schools want "locals" to teach. Or they need a football coach. Grr...seriously regretting my degree.

    :heart: i am a young toddler teacher :smile:

    I love the toddler room! I worked with 3-4 year olds for two years at a daycare and recently quit. I loved it! It was tiring but so rewarding!

    I'm a high school visual/media arts teacher. I started out with English, but art is my passion. It took almost 8 years to get where I am today. We are wrapping up the year this week (last day of exams today) and I am already psyched about next year. Although I am definitely going to enjoy the summer with my daughter. Lots of long walks, parks and pools are in our future.

    I currently teach 6th grade Language Arts and Reading. I've taught Language Arts for a total of 6 years and taught Special Education (in different capacities) for 5 years prior to that. I've just completed 11 years as a middle school teacher, and I've found it to be extremely rewarding. : )

    I hope you enjoy your career in education!
