When i grow up....

So as many of you may of heard, they are really cutting back the teachers at schools around this area & in many other places. At Whiteside Elementry school they let go of 11 teachers and 1 Custodian. My cousin Kelly who works as a math teacher at Belleville East High School said they are letting go of 22 different teachers, all first and second year. Good thing she is a third year teacher!

But my concern for this is I have always wanted to be a teacher ever since I was little. I Have been working with kids for three years now and every day it is something new. I have worked at Bellevalley North as an ESP teacher in the mornings for a year, and then Whiteside Elementry also as an ESP teacher for two, and then soccer coaching 3-5 year olds.

I have always just wanted to work with kids and doing something that helps them, but no im not so sure if I should keep trying to be a teacher, or switch my major since they are cutting back so many teachers.

  1. I am going to school to be a teacher too, and lately I have also thought about changing my major because of all of the teachers being cut around the country. Its kinda scary but teaching is something I have always wanted to do as well, and as of now I am still going to try and become one.

    Hopefully it works out for the both of us!!!!
