I'm sorry to break the news that it is an insane amount of work. But, it's extremely rewarding.

now that this thread has been bumped.. have you done any research into what it takes to teach high school in MA? im thinking of doing this for a few years after college before going off to grad school.

Re: A conversation w/ daryn re: being a teacher
 

yeah here's the gist of it

you basically have to take a few tests.. one in your subject that you want to teach, and one in general literacy/competence or something like that.. then you are "certified" i think.. then you can get a job. i hear that within 5 years of getting the job you have to have started the process of getting masters degree

I really think I would get a kick out of teaching some basic algebra-precalculus classes. I've been told you don't exactly need to graduate from a top school with a 3.8...which is a good thing because i'm well on my way to being a college dropout [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
