How many teachers on the boards?

[Christoph the Magus]

With the beginning of a new school year fast approaching, I got to wondering how many of you out there are teachers? My group of 4 includes 3 teachers (myself included) and with the calender flipping over to August we're all starting to get a little depressed. So how many of you are heading back to school (as teachers) and what are you doing to enjoy the last few weeks of summer?

[Jdvn1]

I'm in college to become a teacher.

 

[John Q. Mayhem]

I'm doing some volunteer-assissting-not technically teaching but close stuff at a local museum. I'm also in college to be a teacher.

 

[Viktyr Gehrig]

Despite my best judgement, I keep re-enrolling in college to become a teacher. I also keep dropping out.

I like to think I'll eventually perform the former without the latter.

I still have nearly 4 weeks left. We go back Aug 29 and the kids show up on Sept 1.

 

[Gothmog]

I'm a professor of Biology and Neuroscience at Drury Univeristy in Springfield MO. The fall semester starts on Aug 24th, but I've also taught two summer courses: Neurobiology and Human Physiology. I'm keeping busy (and it pays well for summer classes), but it hasn't left much time for relaxing or gaming this summer. :\

 

[Menexenus]

I'm in the same boat as the original poster: my D&D gaming group includes 4 people, and 3 are teachers. And, yes, we are all mourning the end of summer, too.

 

[GrendelKhan]

I go back on August 25th and the kids start on the 31st.

What area will you be teaching?

Teaching is a great job (and not just because you get summers off-but it helps The first year will likely be your worst. It starts to get easier after that. I think that I hit my stride in year three-so don't give up on it if your first year (or student teaching) slaps you around a little bit!

 

[Arrgh! Mark!]

I'm also in university to become a secondary teacher. History/Literature focus.
