I've got one year left, but I've been out for about five days. High school = suck. Waste of my time.

Jeez, the seniors at my school graduated almost a month before you did... I think my last day was the 25th or so, and the seniors got done a week before everyone else. Sucks for you I guess.

Definatly annoyed that I have one more year still, I can't wait till college. I'm not a big fan of the whole high school experiance.

Wow...young'uns. I have five weeks left on my Bachelor's degree, and that's because I took a year off to switch majors. I'm'a be a high school TEACHER this fall.

DUN WITH SKULE 2DAY!

I see that you've forgotten everything that you have learned in English class already, well done!

I've actually found that since I have left school that my skills in English and Maths have improved out of sight.

If you are just getting your bachelors degree, you cant teach in a public school without getting your credential. If you are going the sub or private school route like I did while getting the credential process going, be ready for bad hours, 20-25 bucks an hour, and spoiled rotten kids that bust your balls, complain, and whine to mommy and daddy who will whine to the director who will then bust your balls again.

I like your enthusiasm about teaching with the whole capital letters thing, but get back to me in a year and see if you would still capitalize it. Teaching makes you age at least 3 years to every 1 year everyone else ages. Also, you are never done. You get home, then you have to make lesson plans for the next day for each different class. I had to make lesson plans every night for an ESL class, senior english class, and a history class. After the lesson plans are done and you gather all your materials, then you still have to grade papers, assignments, and quizzes/tests.

I hope Im not scaring you off of teaching or anything, but I am just Jaded on it right now. The kids are so disrespectful.

Obviously you forgot a large chunk of English.

Some systems let you teach and get the credential shit as your teaching. Gotta sign over a couple years of your life though. Least thats they way they do it in GA,NY and OH.

Be a lazy kick ass teacher. Have them grade the assignments, and not give a crap if they cheat. Easy plans. You'll get respek

Teachers like that are a huge part of the problem with undereducated people in the US. While our teachers are letting their students goof around all day, over in Japan and China they are making their kids learn maths and sciences that kids in the US could never hope to learn due to their laziness.

yes, but being a hard ass wont motivate the kids to try harder either. just have fun with them, but push them to do there work.

and yeah, NY has a really messed up school year, atleast in comparison to other states...we start in the first week in september and our school year isnt finished until june 27th iirc. although the high school gets out early because of exams.

I know what I'm doing, thanks

And for now, I'm just registering as a substitute while I work on my credentials. All you need for that is a Bachelor's, a passing score on the CBEST, and a registration for a 30-day permit with the school district.

Well, good luck.

BTW, the CBEST is a joke so dont stress too much on it.
