So You Want to be a Teacher

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGawx9vFM7Y

I thought you would enjoy this short cartoon about a veteran teacher questioning a young person's decision to become a teacher.
It fits into the This We Believe idea that Educators value your adolescents (students) and are prepared to teach them.

    This video was hilarious, I too am a veteran teacher and my daughter who just graduated from high school wants to be a teacher. I tried everything possible to talk her out of being a teacher even though I love teaching I do not want her to teach.

  2. this is interesting for me - I am prior military and teaching is new to me; it's my second life, so to speak. I have conversations with veteran teachers that I respect, and it seems that every conversation begins with "not to jade you but ..." I think it falls back to This We Believe, where it says educators need to value students and need to believe in the common vision. Many veteran teachers seem to disbelieve in the reality of a common vision. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
