Morning all.

![]() ![]() ![]() Yesterday, I went to the local college during my pursuit for direction. One of the few career fields I'm considering is secondary education, but the university that offers extension courses through our local college is offering their childhood education program here. Can you envision me teaching grades 1-6? Me either. On their campus (two hours away) they have an excellent combined B.A./M.S.T. adolescence education program, so I may have to inquire how many courses I could take here and how many I'd have to haul my ass north for. My sister-in-law is a special ed. teacher and she was having a few colleagues over last night for the mass consumption of wine, so I lucked in to going there and asking questions. While my sister-in-law was of little use, her girlfriend is a PhD and works some sort of administration job with a large school system. She was really helpful and had a lot suggestions as to what type of students someone with my personality could relate too. (Apparently there's a calling for teachers who can deal with pregnant drug dealing meth-addicted teens. Who knew?) So, my exploration continues.

My partner just got a BA in K-6 but after living with me for almost two years she can't imagine teaching little brats anymore either and is now looking at a career in business.
Another fucking boring day of stuck home with tubes in me. I can't wait for Tuesday's de-tubing and being able to freely leave the house without tubes connected to a bag. 25 years ago today. Is it Tuesday yet... |

My preference would be to teach English or History to an array of unknown teens as they pass through my classroom. K-6 is for someone who really wants to deal with runny nose brats and deal with a slew of parental deficiencies. (One of the teachers I spoke to last night said that teaching young children is the very best birth control she's encountered.) I have a teenage daughter and an 8 year-old son and I have noticed that I have no problem interacting/communicating with my daughter's friends, yet I find every single elementary age child that has come in to my home to be a giant pain in the ass. If I had to teach at the elementary level, I'd either sit at my desk crying aloud, or I'd be forcefully removed from the school by men in white coats, but only after I punched a few parents.

UW, have you considered getting a career aptitude test?
