high school teacher here. ask me shit.
op here, can I not be a tripfag anymore?
>>708459215
Why?
Is your school plagued with liberal bullshit that is taught as fact?
>>708459215
do u masterbate in class and if so how often
Why are you here?
What's it like teaching niglets?
>>708459215
How many students have you fucked?
OP here
>>708459298
I've always loved learning and I wanted to pass it on. Unfortunately, SJW-types do run the school. I'm spared some of it, though, since I teach math.
>>708459302
twice in my 8 years working, both during final exams
>>708459539
Thats a faggy reason. Isn't common core shit though?
>>708459453
bored. why's anyone here?
>>708459456
I really don't know, I teach mostly white and asian students.
>>708459476
No one while they're students. Fucked one former student when she came back from college
>>708459215
How many if were any?
>>708459215
I've always wondered if administration talks teachers about being attracted to their students. Have any students tried to flirt with you?
>>708459539
oh you're fucking lucky dude i teach history and its so hard to get around that shit
>>708459631
I have a lot of feelings about common core, too much to write here. but most of the weirdness is in elementary school. at the high school level, it was just a matter of focusing slightly more on certain topics than we were before.
What math and what school, also why such a depressing job
>>708459215
What subject do you teach
>>708459215
>ask me shit.
Shit?
>>708459215
did you ever diddle the kiddles?
>>708459697
if administration has to talk to you about relationships with students, you're basically already on your way out. I've had a small handful (like, single digits) flirt with me a bit, but I don't ever acknowledge it. a little action isn't worth losing my job/freedom/reputation
>>708459215
are you a high school teacher?
stories?
>>708459215
Teach any hot young sluts? What would you do to them?
how did you discover 4chan?
>>708459818
I teach a wide variety. this year I teach remedial geometry, honors algebra 2, and multivariable calc. It's not depressing at all! It's a low-stress environment, I happen to work at a place that pays well, and I have relative job security
>>708460020
So the only thing keeping you is because of the threat you'd lose you job? Any stories? Do kids fuck in school?
>>708459215
looks like you're shitty teacher and teach shit.
What are you doing on this board? Shouldn't you prepare classes for tomorrow?
>>708459215
Do you enjoy your job? What's the worst thing about teaching? What's the best bit?
>>708460149
I'm an oldfag, been here since 2006. Don't remember how I initially found it.
>>708460120
lots of slutty girls with nice bodies. They're students, though, so I wouldn't do anything
>>708459215
currently in uni and want to be a teacher after, so cheers
what's the most ridiculous thing you've encountered that makes you hate your job or love it?
>>708460405
Why wouldn't you fuck a student? Are you some kind of moralfag?
>>708459539
you masturbate to your students in class?
what's it like being around hot teen girls all day? i've thought about going into teaching, but it seems like it would just take one girl saying you were checking them out to ruin your reputation/career.
>>708460524
Found the neckbeard who's never had any real job or responsibilities before.
Chem teacher here Teach Anon what grade do you teach. I got a degree at the University of Texas and teach sophmores how do you not kill yourself teach anon?
>>708460285
I absolutely love it. While I have high expectations of my students, I'm not one of those that thinks their subject is the most important. I don't delude myself into thinking that the stuff I teach is explicitly useful in any of their lives, so I do stuff in class to try to make it a fun experience. I guess the most rewarding thing is when students tell me that my class is a time they actually look forward to. The worst part is all non-classroom shit you have to do--meetings, grading, etc
When students are going out with each other, is it as obvious to you that they're having sex as it is to all the students around them?
>>708459215
Monarch Butterfly or White Bunny?
>>708460761
As a Chem teacher i agree i try to teach them life skills as well as chem and i dont teach from a book i write my own lesson plans so i know what im teaching
Are all of your students SJWs?
>>708460951
fuck I needed this, thank you sleepy peter
>>708459215
why high school and not instead some other job?
are the pupils annoying?
>>708459215
what city do you teach in?
>>708459215
How many underage students have you had sex with, and what sexes were they?
>>708459539
Physics student here. Do you think your math degree was worth it?
>>708459215
Any students you want to FUCKING PUNCH IN TEH FACE?
>>708460559
yeah, some students do make it into my fap rotation (public facebooks and instas are a godsend). you just have to keep that shit entirely under wraps. doesn't matter if you're a creep at home in your room, just don't be one at work.
>>708460643
I teach all grade levels, freshman through senior. I don't want to kill myself because I teach at a place where the students are generally pretty polite and well behaved. Also, it doesn't really bother me if a particular unit or whatever doesn't go well. It's not like I deprived them of knowledge that's critical to their success as adults
>>708461146
other teacher anon here major in engineering then go into math make money dont be poor like me
>>708460857
I need to know this sensei. Please. I know you know what it means.
>>708461236
I like you teacher senpai
>>708461236
sadly chem is one of those subjects where i have students that know what they are doing or get lost after the second test and are confused the whole year thats just the nature of the beast
>>708460416
Good luck. One year on my birthday I walked into one of my classes and everyone was wearing a shirt with my staff picture printed on the front. It was a bit alarming but very heartwarming. They also got me a $100 amazon giftcard
>>708461454
wtf i teach in a pretty rich suburb and i dont get shit like that i get cards and candy lol
>>708459215
How much do you make?
>>708461454
Any blowjobs for grades?
>>708461653
not nearly enough 55k
>>708461262
Holy fuck, did you English with school
>>708459215
Are the asians really the best at math?
>>708461568
Your probably an asshole.
>>708461757
yes I'm a chemist im pretty lazy to type good english
>>708461743
Still not too bad
>>708461311
Dubs demand an answer you Dan Schneider fresh body provider.
>>708461855
nah i got teacher of the year my 3rd year teaching my students get 5's on the Ap chem test
I feel bad for teachers today. When I was in High School 02-06, this liberal or SJW bullshit didn't exist. No one cared about race, gender or the make up of a class. We all just lived, played with our stupid fucking Pokedex toys and did our research on shitty IBM laptops.
Now days, I can only imagine what being a teacher is like today. Having to cater to SJW/liberal standards.
>>708459658
Can you elaborate on how you were able to fuck a former student? Was she hitting on you when you had her?
>>708461878
not when you go student debt because you have bachelors and masters
>>708461743
Yeah, but no teacher ever said...
Q:"why do you teach?"
A: " to be a baller"
My ex gf, now a history teacher, jerked me off while she was crying which made me orgasm. What an historic moment
>>708461978
all my students are white i dont worry about this
>>708459215
Any grill tried to make her grades go up buy sucking some?
>>708460807
sometimes, although there was one guy who apparently went out with four different girls in our class and I had no idea until he told me at the end of the year.
>>708460951
not all, but I definitely avoid talking about anything remotely controversial
>>708461146
this really depends on what you mean by "worth it"...I absolutely adored learning about things like Galois theory and Fourier transforms, even though I will never use them in my job. I think college should be about satisfying you intellectual curiosity, so yes I think it was worth it.
>>708461191
every now and then.
>>708461433
most of my classes are nice in that regard, since units don't all build on each other. Calculus, though, is tough if a student never really nails differentiation
>>708462052
dont fuck with history majors they all are screwed in the head
>>708462061
>white
Glorious. I'm guessing no metal detectors, security guards on staff 24/7 or constant fights?
>>708462116
fuck yeah man I went to calc 3 (organic chem required it for some reason never used it except the odd derivative)
>>708459215
Do you have any autistic kid stories?
>>708461924
THREE years to get teacher of the year? Better late then never.
>>708459215
where did you go to college?
>>708462196
its so nice but i get payed shit compared to teachers who work in nigger schools
>>708462267
yeah man my first 2 years i was working on my masters and didnt give a shit about teaching
Do you set your grades on a bell curve? Also mercy points?
>>708462116
WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?!
Teachanon,don't you have any photo of some hot students/ex students?
Also,do you like your job?
>>708462415
>curve
That is such a stupid god damn concept. Either you failed or you don't. The curve is fucking moronic and shouldn't exist.
>>708462415
fuck no either you get chemistry or you dont my job as an Ap chem teacher is to make sure kids are ready to go into chemical engineering majors
Yeah the history major got pregnant and had a baby with some admin who helped troubled kids but couldn't take care of his own kids and cheated on her with another teacher lol
>>708462542
>>708462539
I like you, you and i think the same way
Whats the shittiest thing you've done to a student? Whats the shittiest thing a student has done to you?
>>708461236
any chance you would share some of the better student pics from your fap rotation with us?
How many attention seeking emo fags? Are they the dumber students?
>>708462542
What is your pass rate for AP Chem?
>>708462631
told a kid that he wasn't going to college and he wasn't going to be an chemical enginer, a kid slashed my tired once
>>708461653
the guy who replied to you wasn't OP. I'm in my 8th year and I make 88k (I work at a pretty rich school)
>>708461802
My multivariable class is about 40% asians and 40% jews. In all my years teaching that class, I've never had any black students.
>>708461994
as a student she sometimes lightly flirted with me. she also sat in a place in our classroom without anyone in front of her, and she'd oftentimes spread her legs when she was wearing a skirt. I wrote her college and internship recs, so we kept in touch even after she left for college. Her sophomore year, she shot me an email saying she'd be back for winter break and wanted to have dinner. We met up at the restaurant and then she suggested we go back to her place since her parents weren't around.
>>708462704
id say 60-50% pass
>>708462763
what fucking state do you work in? teachers in texas dont make that kind of money
>>708462737
Why'd you do that?
Did you catch him? If so, what happened?
Also, can you tell when kids are drunk or high in class?
>>708462792
Meh. What are the typical demographics of your class?
>>708462296
The University of Texas
Majored in Organic Chemistry
Mastered in Organic Chemistry
>>708463009
white upper middle class daddies money
60% male
40% female
all the girls are ugly
Creepshots of students?
>>708462881
In CA they make 6 figures. Texas is pretty fucking shit when it comes to education since it's run by rednecks, and it's also a poor state in percapita terms when compared to other 'major' states
>>708463151
White upper middle and you still have that low of a pass rate?
>>708463240
Texas is great when you work in oil shit when you work in anything else
>>708459215
Do you hang out with other teachers who teach math and/or other subjects?
>>708463313
i teach hard on purpose
Kids in my AP chem class are kids that want to be chemical engineers and me and the AP Physics and Ap Calc teach team up to make a engineers curriculum that still abides by College Board rules and prepares students for college
Do you enjoy being a teacher? Currently in my 3rd year undergrad in secondary Ed. Any tips?
>>708463345
no i lock my door at lunch i hate all the other teachers that arent chem or science
OP here (math teacher) I don't mind the chem teacher answering questions, I just want to make it clear who's who
>>708462296
I have both my bachelors and masters from Ivy league schools. I won't say more than that.
>>708462415
Echoing what others have said, grading on bell curves is dumb. I do give a hell of a lot of mercy points especially towards the end of each semester.
>>708462520>>708462645
have some tits
>>708463576
dont be a teacher in a southern state
>>708462116
Anon who asked you if it was worth it. Why didn't you keep driving forwards and learning all the exciting and awe-inspiring things about mathematics?
To me, teaching a bunch of snot nosed kids about basic shit (95% of whom don't give a damn about your subject) seems like a crappy alternative.
>>708463602
Chem teacher, have you considered PhD? I plan on applying to Rice's PhD program eventually but right now im poor af
>>708463536
Meh. I was never exposed to your teaching style so I can't judge too much. Do you think your curriculum is too hard or your methods are to o strict?
>>708459215
As a fellow H/S teacher (yr 3 / C.A. Bay), I'm glad you're doing it. No questions, other than my reminder to you.
> "is this really your BEST work, anon?"
>>708459215
How does it feel that a guy without a degree makes more than you will even after you've gained tenure?
>>708459215
what school district do you teach in?
what grades do you teach?
have you ever fucked a teacher in your school or another school?
>>708463602
>Mercy points
That's bullshit
I agree the curve is stupid because I had one teacher who did that and people who eventually would get a 5 on the AP test would finish the class with a B or C since the grades had to fit the curve.
>>708463872
Teachers in CA make very comfortable 6 figure salaries. If you teach in Missouri, that's a different story
>>708459215
What kind of student is your favorite?
What kind of student is your least favorite?
>>708463815
my students who passed my class and went to college in engineering told me my strict but laid back style of teaching really helped them with their professors in college. now i am not as strict on test but when it comes to labs Significant Figures and United will fuck your grade in the ass if you dont have them. Miss a unit or not use correct sig figs thats up to 15 points off per missing unit/sig fig
>>708463872
>how does it feel that bill gates makes more than you without a degree?
>>708459215
Do you think about fucking your sexy students while in class or wait until you get home for that?
>>708463602
Have you ever had any students that were obvious /b/tards? Did you drop any hints to them that you lurk this hell hole too?
>>708464035
a student who does their work and tries
a student who doesnt give a fuck and plays on his phone while i teach
>>708464091
all my students who are girls arent attractive
>>708464073
Calm down girls.
>>708459215
Also, solve this, prick.
>>708464038
I get sigfigs since missing those means your entire response on the FRQ is wrong. Just kind of curious about your style since my chem teacher was super laid back, and had a 96% pass rate my year. How are the physics and calc teachers at your school?
OP math teacher here
>>708463795
No, since I don't plan on ever leaving my job and my school doesn't raise your salary for a phd.
>>708463779
Because I actually enjoy the act of teaching and interacting with high school kids. It's cool being part of a kid's life when they're at such a critical juncture in their maturation.
>>708464191
then what about the hot sluts that aren't in your class?
>>708459215
What grades did you get in HS?
>>708464243
diagonal slash through equal sign
How much autonomy do you get in planning your curriculum? (Especially w/ all the common core bullshit)
How awful are the parents?
>>708459215
Ever sample the delights?
>>708460416
>in uni
>want to become a teacher
Just drop out. You're wasting taxpayer money, you fucking eurocunt.
>>708464265
i have never seen them teach but we try to make it a engineering type course. your chem teacher probably didnt major in organic chemistry so he is chill, organic chemistry kills any soul you have
>>708464202
S-s-she hit me first!
>>708464332
i have a masters i dont teach on level chemistry where the sluts are
>>708464447
What the fuck put your panties in a bind?
>>708464431
i have all autonomy i want I teach AP Chemistry as long as i teach what the college board asks me to teach i am fine. but other than that i teach what i want
No i dont give a fuck about parents their students chose to take my class if they fail they fail
>>708464243
Diagonal line across the equals sign. Ez.
>>708462196
>all white school
Yeah because THAT place won't get shot up eventually.
>>708464243
=/=
>>708464542
are you saying all the hot teen sluts are dumb?
>>708462737
>only slashed your tire
I would have busted your fucking ass.
>>708463576
Change your goddamn major perhaps?
OP math teacher here
>>708463943
I completely agree, but I also don't view my grades as something sacred that needs to 100% accurately reflect a student's performance. If anything, grades are just a transaction between the teacher and parents (and colleges, I guess).
>>708464035
couldn't have said it better. Frankly, I don't actually care about performance. A student could be getting a C- but if they're actually trying I like them.
>>708464114
No, they're all reddit and 9gag trash
>>708463928
Just going to answer your last question. Fucked a teacher in another department one time after a faculty outing. It's nice that, since we're in different department offices, I don't actually see her that often at work.
>>708464477
She did organic chem, and her masters was organic chem too. I think part of it may have been AP chem has an almost mystical aura at my former high school, and only the super fucking crazy kids took it. In my class, the sophomore, junior and senior year vals all sat together, so with the caliber of students, it may have inflated her pass rates
>>708464794
i mean i have had a few hot girls in my class but not many
>>708464003
And have a high cost-of-living. I may not know mathematics, but I do know business, finance, technology, and real estate.
>>708462737
kinda shitty thing to do tbh, i went to a shitty ass school district but even then only the shittiest of teachers would put students down
>>708464879
i think my low pass rate is also i teach in a southern school
>>708464073
Yeah because it's so fucking hard to make an inferior product like Micro$oft Office for less than a dollar and sell it for over $100. Low production costs, high margins. l2business.
>>708464877
>grades are just a transaction between the teacher and parents
I feel you bro. Once had to witness a teacher get yelled at on the phone by a student's teacher while visiting. The student's parents were mad the teacher had the nerve to give their little snowflake a 'C' or something like that. On a tangent, how often does that kind of shit happen anyways
>>708463240
i went to school in california, from what ive been told by teachers they can only make around 87,000 max, not bad but not six figure
>>708464279
Fair point. A decent teacher goes a long way.
>>708465089
when you have a masters in a tough field in make only 55 a year it turns you into an asshole
ThanK you sleepy peter
>>708465272
SF and elsewhere in the Bay Area are having immense difficulties keeping teachers around, because so few can afford to live there; most of the ones I know are married to someone who works in tech and can thus subsidize them.
>>708465158
you didn't exactly answer the question
>>708465007
Are you fucking retarded? Where I live in Cali, my parents bought a 4 bed, 3,400 ft^2 house with a 15,000ft^2 lot for 401k. Gas is like 2.56 which is barely above the national average. The only expensive shit here is water. And apartments near UCLA
>>708460188
hi silverstein
>>708465356
ok...still a shitty thing
>>708460951
Thank you sleepy Peter
OP math teacher
>>708465244
It happens to me once in a few years or so. I'm lucky since I can just pass it off to my department chair, who somehow takes care of everything. But also, being nice to parents goes a long way. I frequently call parents just to tell them that their son/daughter did a good job in class that day. If they have a good impression of you, they typically don't throw a shitfit later on.
>>708465141
God bless your soul you poor bastard
For a southern state 60% is probably top of the curve
Are you a shitty teacher who is mean to their students and gives lots of hw?
Or are you cool?
Also, what kind of math?
Any questions for Chem Teacher Anon?
>>708465272
Maybe after taxes, yeah. But given that average household income is around 55k, that's not bad at all
>>708465448
that's cute. You can't start looking for a house for under 800k in my neck of the woods.
>>708465715
Chem teacher here
I dont give hw I give a packet that we work on during the whole chapter
you have 3 labs each chapter 1 of those is a test grade
then you have a review
then test
>>708464563
Because I have one of the strongest entrepreneurial spirits I have ever seen and to see someone sell themselves short in life to become a teacher makes me pissed off. Why?
Teachers aren't appreciated. Not by their peers nor their students. Teachers don't create jobs. They create stress. They create anxiety. They create the feeling in students that if they fail one midterm or quiz that their dream is crushed. There are a lot of shitty teachers out there. Teachers that could make or break someone.
I'll use an analogy. Teachers are like judges in a court room. Why you ask? Because they hold someone's future in the palms of their hands.
>>708465868
Where the fuck do you live? The bay area? Jesus H christ
>>708465448
depends on where you live in cali, its not just UCLA, pretty much any house in LA that isnt in the hood is pretty fucking expensive
>>708465882
Can you help me with my chem hw right now?
I'm not even joking:
"Neutrons were discovered in 1932, more than 10 years after the existence of isotopes was confirmed. What property of electrons and protons led to their discovery? Suggest a possible reason why neutrons were the last subatomic particle to be discovered."
Is it mass? Or charge?
>>708466018
As a whole CA is generally not that expensive. What the person who brought up the whole thing was implying is that the entire state is fucking expensive
>>708465834
yeah its not bad, im not sure what a teachers actual paid hours are but one of my teachers told me he makes 40 an hour
OP math teacher
>>708465715
All my homework is optional. If a student understands everything just by sitting in class and paying attention, why should they spend time on it outside of class?
>>708465948
I don't agree with everything you said, but I feel you. I make it a point to make my classes as stress- and anxiety-free as possible, and I take time to praise and encourage my students for their non-academic accomplishments
>>708460524
No because then the sexually narrowed might come down on him as suspicious. I had sex with my girlfriend and went to fucking college and got treated like a fucking pedophile. She was 23! I was 25-26.
>>708466223
Discovered because of mass. Electrons were found to have little mass, and the mass in Protons just couldn't account for the atomic mass numbers. Neutrons were last since they have no charge and thus were hardest to detect
Not a teacher, just a lurker
>>708466223
because neutrons have no apparent mass. The electron and neutron have a mass and you can detect electrons with the anode tube experiment. as well you can detect the proton with atomic number as we see the elements change in number we can tell the change in atmoic mass
>>708465411
In a way, I did.
He got very lucky when it comes to his wealth. Right place at the right time. Is he a stupid person? Not by any means. But he's got a God complex. And no amount of money will get rid of that.
>>708465448
>doesn't know how to properly write sq ft
Holy fuck, you are deluded. And you say your parents bought it? Hope that house is built up to code and follows Earthquake Retrofitting and Seismic Upgrades
Also, enjoy living on 0.34 acres, you broke fuck. That's what we call in real estate a "postage stamp".
>>708466263
Sounds about right. My fav teacher and I were talking about that and she said she makes around 46 an hour, so for an experienced teacher, 6 figure salaries are possible, but rare
>>708466249
oh well in that case yeah, california is huge so you can find cheap housing anywhere but if youre living in any of the major cities its pretty damn pricey
>>708459215
You've seen some students carry guns?
>>708459215
what subject?
So do you fags fuck around with other teachers or bitch out?
>>708466502
CTRL+F "subject" || "math"
>>708466454
yeah, well i went to a pretty ghetto school in an already shitty school district so im guessing the teachers at my school didnt make much, but if you have the degrees and shit your life is pretty comfortable, especially considering some teachers barely do any work
>>708466320
Oh you "feel" me? That's real cute, kid. Really cute. I feel pity for you. You know why? You blew a fucking Ivy League education. Pissed it away to become a teacher. Way to go. Could have gotten your MBA and maybe even gotten a minor in finance since you're a numbers guy and made mid six figures. But you make a little more than what my mother did at one point. And she never even finished high school. I hope you reflect on your mistakes and realize that hindsight is 20 fucking 20.

I actually loved chemistry. My chemistry teacher was one of the smartest men I ever met. Even smarter than fucking OP. He could make OP look like a blubbering idiot. He worked for a company that helped develop Johnson & Johnson No Tear Shampoo. He showed us a lot of neat things. I learned from him how to decarbonate a bottle of soda from him. Either him or from my knowledge of chemistry. I didn't learn shit from my math teacher until I got to senior year and did all of the teaching myself.

I legitimately and wholeheartedly enjoy being a teacher. Making money isn't the end-all-be-all of living a good life. I make enough money to live comfortably and support my hobbies. I enjoy having former students tell me years after graduation how they look back fondly on their time in my class. I take pride in my students' successes in college and beyond. And once in a blue moon, I can convince a student that math is an enjoyable and worthwhile subject (worthwhile for its own merits, not as a tool to do finance/engineering)
>>708467239
right, i heard about that. don't know what im going to do in my free time every night...

In all honesty OP, I used to be sincerely passionate about math until my teachers ALL turned out to be horrible. They all made me hate math (and im not even bad at it)
Do the students a favor, and please be that one teacher who the students look forward to seeing and learning from.

It's clear we just have very different outlooks so I'm not going to argue. Just to clarify my thoughts, though, I feel that the only purpose of college should be to satisfy your intellect. And by going to an Ivy League school, I was able to do just that. It's irrelevant what career I went into afterwards. What matters to me is that I really enjoy my job.

Definitely. And when students struggle in my class, the first thing I tell them try out is actually doing the suggested problems I give them at the beginning of each unit. But for the few students who actually understand everything, I don't want to take away their valuable time

Aspiring HS band teacher here,
As far as high school, which would you prefer, public or private school? I'm trying to get into a niggerfest of a high school so I can actually fuck with my students and have fun, since (from personal experience), you can't have that with white kids most of the time.
Chemistry is for fags who seek attention had no friends and nobody liked in school which drew then to Excell and fail in social connections to the outside world.
>>708468081
What did you feel afterwards? Friend of mine got into two elite schools, but couldn't go to either since no aid. He is still fucking bitter about it

My bro (who went to a whole raft of Ivys and is now a prof) says that you can get a good education at any uni; the main differences are access to resources and networking. You have to try a lot harder at a lower-tier school.

d) questioned if they were too old to be in high school and was an undercover cop?
e) you as a teen?
OP math teacher here
>>708468081
That's too bad, but UT's pretty good too. I mean, any large state school is going to have a decent population of really smart students. I was lucky and got a pretty good financial aid package (not at Brown, though)
>>708467629
This anon is right. Math teachers are vehemently scorned. We don't like you at all. One thing I suggest, OP, is to take some sociology or psychology courses. Maybe even get a psych degree. I say that because when these kids are in the trenches and are in your class as well as your colleagues classes and having to take the SATs and ACTs and maybe even the ASVAB to join the military, you'll connect with them on a different level.
>>708468273
i went to a fairly niggery school and you can fuck with students pretty damn hard
there was a teacher who had tenure who would literally show a movie from monday to wednesday, and on thursday all he would do is roast the kids in the class and then on friday hed have an open book test, he really lived the life
>>708468448
i absolutely agree with that

>Because I have one of the strongest entrepreneurial spirits I have ever seen and to see someone sell themselves short in life to become a teacher makes me pissed off. Why?
>Teachers aren't appreciated. Not by their peers nor their students. Teachers don't create jobs. They create stress. They create anxiety. They create the feeling in students that if they fail one midterm or quiz that their dream is crushed. There are a lot of shitty teachers out there. Teachers that could make or break someone.
>I'll use an analogy. Teachers are like judges in a court room. Why you ask? Because they hold someone's future in the palms of their hands.

Basically any science makes you look like a NEET. If you're not studying something that could propel you from poverty to wealth, you're doing something majorly wrong. And save me the whole 'BUT I LUB MUH JERB ANON"
Yeah because you love consistency and continuity. You love being content with where you're at. Look at OP. Highly educated yet chose the wrong path. He could have gotten a MBA or a BBA or anything other than a mathematics degree and been set. But if OP is happy satisfying the little WASP kids he teaches, so be it.
>>708468560
Wouldn't be able to do that since I would teach an active class. I just wanna cal my students retards and not risk getting fired because of sensitive ass kids.

LA is less bad than SF, but it's not great, either. If you're serious about considering moving, take into account the time/money tradeoff for access to the city area. If you were going to move without a job lined up, I'd be much more wary about it.
(Many of the cities across the US have had a notable increase in rent pressure over the past five years. Don't know if it's overseas money buying up properties, airbnb, or something else, but it's kind of shit all over.)

Dual certification definitely wouldn't hurt and can only make you more employable. ESL certification might also be an option if you're really looking for some edge in employment. As some anon said awhile ago, it's relatively easy to become a teacher but extremely hard to become a good or great teacher. If you enjoy working with students, though, the pay-off is well worth it
