The guy who has been denoted as the “Best Answerer” answers my question in full. He specifically says that the pay was a dive and that the paperwork sucks, but even though he originally planned to teach for only two years, he is still a teacher. The benefits must outweigh the negatives. There is no other […]

Teaching is something that people love. In high school, this guy said he would never become a teacher. That might have been because he didn’t think it was cool or because he thought teachers make low pay. But then he still became a teacher because after doing it, he found many benefits of it. Teaching […]

This web site has a long argument about how teachers are, in fact, not underpaid. In some cases they are making more than the average worker in their area. This is an interesting point because if people think that by becoming teachers they are going to make low pay, and then they still become teachers, […]

Yet another teacher’s blog (seems to be all they can do to keep from going insane) and this one goes with what my first teacher has said. “I hate it when I realise that out of my list of things I hate about teaching, 9 out of 10 have got nothing to do with my […]

This article shows that teachers’ pay isn’t really as low as everyone seems to think. Because they do not work during the summers, you add some to compare to jobs that do, and with the added benefits of health care and retirements funds a teacher that makes 60,000 dollars a year makes about 87,000 dollars […]

This is another blog from a teacher saying that teaching high school is much better than teaching elementary school because the kids are more mature. She also says that teaching kids is the best part of the job. She doesn’t regret becoming a teaching and probably never will. So far, 90 percent of the teachers […]

This site seems to negate everything good said about teaching. This seems to come from a more professional standpoint, though, so it doesn’t seem to be as reliable as an interview with a teacher. This could also have been written by a disgruntled employee, as no author is given it seems safe to expect the […]

Another teacher replied to my email interview and what she said went along with what every other source has said in regards to teaching. She says that the pay is alright to get by on, and even though she did find herself living paycheck to paycheck at some points, it was a result of her […]

This Web Logger sort of did the same thing as myself. He asked many teachers why they continued to teach. The answer he mainly got was “kids.” The teachers enjoy the fact that they have an effect on the young minds of many and that what they are teaching them as a great effect on […]

In this teacher’s blog, Mr. Belshaw seems to enjoy teaching. His reasons for loving his job, though, seem to be unique. I have not heard any of the other teachers I have spoken to mention any of these things for reasons to love teaching. One of the big things that stuck out at me in […]
