Or are there any noteworthy reminders that are brought to your attention each year as you interact with new groups of students?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00268005046839677816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14575185.post-73615536961210154632014-04-01T04:31:48.371-04:002014-04-01T04:31:48.371-04:00That would be 7, 9, 5, and 15.

I think I know what your answer might be, but that is based on a conversation from college....that took place from about 10pm to 3am one evening/morning. Good times.<br /><br />2) If you would do it all over, would you still be a teacher? I think this is tough because there are a lot of factors that could play into this. Would you do it again if you could be anything (i.e. independently wealthy with no need for a job, a professional basketball player, computer nerd and become Bill Gates) or would you do it again if you had your abilities and grew up exactly as you did. <br /><br />3) What do you wish someone would have told you before you started teaching?<br /><br />4) Any classes you wish you would have taken? This might be a two part question. a) Is there a classes you wish you would have taken that you think would have made you a better teacher, b) or is there a class you just wish you would have taken (i.e. Z201 History of Rock Music at IU, Bagpipes 101 at Aberdeen.....). I am going to throw in a question c) Is there a class that you would teach to incoming teachers and d) is there a class you wish you hope you have the chance to teach before you retire.<br />Smamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178372540624693165noreply@blogger.com
