One thing that I project to be really important when it comes to being a teacher is staying dedicated. So many teachers become bored or full of angst with their work that they give up. This is not something that I want to do.
This article by the Washington post exemplifies this idea and I think that it's significant as a pre-service teacher to recognize this. Half of all teachers quit within five years. My professor for my Foundations of Education class last year warned us that teaching was hard, but that it gets better.
I recently had an interview with Steve Smith, and English and social studies teacher at Hancock High school for 26 years, and he said, "teaching doesn't get easier, it becomes more manageable."I asked him how he stays motivated and dedicated as a teacher and he told me to keep writing.
This blog is me writing to stay sane so that I can stay dedicated to my work. Even if I won't make that much money.
