So, I get to choose between middle school and high school.<BR/><BR/>Hrmph.<BR/><BR/>Besides from the hormonal changes, I do think prepubescents have a really cool perspective...not kids, not teens, not adults. You may be surprised with the latitude, there. <BR/><BR/>But I still contend middle school kids stink. No, really. They smell. It's because of the hormones and the infrequency of bathing.FRITZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06598178670022267164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13500293.post-1146490913216064352006-05-01T09:41:00.000-04:002006-05-01T09:41:00.000-04:00i can understand your dislike of children. the ot...i can understand your dislike of children. the other day in a dressing room, i almost aborted a small child of 4 with a clothes hanger when she repeatedly tried to unlock the dressing room door.<BR/><BR/>and the mother? not one room down, quiescently ignoring her child. hrmph.kimberlinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10165022877369919740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13500293.post-1146446234478401862006-04-30T21:17:00.000-04:002006-04-30T21:17:00.000-04:00I think the only way to find out if you would actu...I think the only way to find out if you would actually like teaching, is to spend some time in a classroom. You can usually do this by visiting a classroom & observing, like in an internship. This is usually through a class, but some school allow informal visitors, especially if you know someone in the school.<BR/><BR/>You might be surprised. I thought I would hate middle schoolers and after my internship I loved, loved, LOVED them. They are zany & energetic like no other group, yet you can reason with them.<BR/><BR/>Of course, math starts pretty young, and getting basic concepts across for the first time to young kids can be quite stimulating!Spinning Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10357092955594187207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13500293.post-1146420421605371002006-04-30T14:07:00.000-04:002006-04-30T14:07:00.000-04:00What about teaching Art History?What about teaching Art History?Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11229328711066259219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13500293.post-1146406262032814682006-04-30T10:11:00.000-04:002006-04-30T10:11:00.000-04:00Are you sure you aren't interested (even the sligh...Are you <I>sure</I> you aren't interested (even the slightest) in doing historic preservation?<BR/><BR/>I recall reading some very passionate posts in this kickin' blog. Maybe it was another Goblin's blog? <BR/><BR/>Not to say this is true for you, but when I'm afraid of failing (or even not liking) something, I shy away from it in sprite of my desire to do it. <BR/><BR/>Hm.
