<p>I’d also recommend NOT thinking that this is a job where you only teach 6 months out of the year. Teaching is TIME INTENSIVE. Many evenings are spent up late grading papers and planning your lessons, finding resources, figuring out how to reteach subjects that you’ve covered AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. People tend to think that they’ll teach because it is “easy”, but I agree with muddaof2 - really think about it and see if you can intern or sub before you decide. It’s a FUN job, but you really have to be committed and love what you do.</p>
