Where my teachers at?

[bill402]

I'll choose this to be my first post on the forum! Mississippi-based sophomore English and Theatre teacher. Working on my Ed.S. in Administration, ATM.

I graduated with my PhD in biochem last summer. Liked teaching undergrads, so I'm training to teach HS science right now. Aaaand, now I'm thinking of teaching college.

My youngest boy is a biochem major, junior. He loves it. He sent me an excited text a few weeks ago that his biochem prof is a homebrewer.

Student teaching at the moment for music. Most days I love it and really think I've found what I should be doing finally. No matter how much those sixth grade alto sax players try to discourage me

Mr. Phillips - Kindergarten Teacher. You?

You and me both, buddy.

I teach EFL (English as a Foreign Language) to 2-6 year olds in a Montessori kindergarten in central China. I love it. Just wish there were a bit less BS paperwork and hoop-jumping in my day so I could play with the kids more.

That's what I call taking your work home with you!

 

[tgolanos]

K-12 German and ESL Teacher. Yes, I'm crazy; no, I wouldn't give it up for the world.

 

[frozennorth]

Online/Home School tutor all subjects, K-12. It gets sporty at times, but the kids are the key.

 

[UNIbrewster]

Middle School P.E. Teacher. My life is kickball.

Middle School P.E. Teacher. My life is kickball.

I wanted to be a P.E. teacher for the longest time but those are hard to come by jobs around here. Once you get that gig they don't move for 20 years.

Wife teaches History/Social Studies 8-12
Brother 1 and sister-in-law are Band Directors
Brother 2 is a Math teacher 7-12, Defensive Head coach for Sr High, Jr High/7th football and Softball head coach.

I teach concealed carry, does that count?

 

[MrE_the_Great]

10 year second grade teacher, now a Director of Environmental Science.

 

[OkanaganMike]

I taught archery at a Cub Scout summer camp. Does that count?

Good on ya! I was thinking I'd be the first one to note that although I'm not a "paid" teacher, I've been involved as a Leader and Group Commisioner for Scouting for 9 years. Teaching life skills and trying to mould these little beings into useful respectful members of society.

I do miss it, and scouting in general. It was probably the best thing I ever did in my life. It helped I was part of a good troop with all of my friends. Priceless lessons learned from Cubs all the way to Eagle rank, most of which were not taught.

 

[BowAholic]

Just retired after teaching high school agriculture/FFA for 36 years... it was great but life is much easier now.

 

[Newsman]

Technology Coordinator for a school district. I am the entire technology department for the district, I'm really the computer janitor.

BTDT for a small company. Unfortunately they went belly up.

 

[zekevin]

I'm 5th grade science and the wife is 8th grade language arts.
Spring break is this week so I'm trying to replenish our supply!

"Where my teachers at"????????

Apparently not in grammar class.

I assumed the OP was asking for help.

 

[lumpher]

I taught and oversaw University-level Psychology labs for 3 years. I had enough, and moved into I.T., since computers make more sense.

Yep. They only do what you tell them. EXACTLY what you tell them, so it can be frustrating.

 

[gspot]

I'm not sure whether you're referring to students or computers, but I've never gotten that level of complicity out of mine. Many of mine won't do anything you tell them, typical of 13 year olds.

 

[govner1]

Your teachers are right before the "at"!

 

[slym2none]

In the last place you look.

Anyone teach in Chicago Public Schools? Seriously considering jumping ship in MS.

 

[lowtones84]

Chicago public schools and teachers don't have a great history. Look into it a little more if you're really interested, but I grew up near there and it often wasn't pretty.

 

[bill402]

I've read stories. I like a challenge. My daughter is mixed-race (adoption) and there is little diversity/opportunity down here.
