I offered my friend a tutoring job at the Learning Center , since she does not have a job. She complains she is too busy.
My friend does not want to tutor, because she said she would get “frustrated”, yet she wants to be a high school teacher. Should I tell her it is time for a career change?
If you get frustrated tutoring one kid, Imagine teaching 25 or 30!!!
She’s also studying Chemistry, thats what she wants to teach, but she does not seem to enjoy it. What can I tell her?
She tells me Chemistry is really hard, and its boring!!
She tells me that she doesnt want to teach because she will get frustrated.
My response; dont be a teacher! (Note: I did not actually say that, but she plans to continue to be a high school teacher)
Gosh, I feel bad for those kids. A great teacher is passionate about the subject he/she teaches.
My theory is that she was brainwashed by her parents wanted and did not do want she wanted. Or that she had a very influential high school Chemistry teacher.
I think she should do something she is passionate about, but I dont know what that is. It seems like she is in the wrong place to me.
Remember, an unpassionate teacher, produces uninspiried students
I want to tell her the story, that I changed my major from Chemistry to Political Science, because I found I had some great professors in my general education classes.
HOW CAN I TELL HER SHE SHOULDNT BE A TEACHER AND DO SOMETHING SHE IS PASSIONATE ABOUT WITHOUT HURTING HER FEELINGS?
Please do not tell me, let her figure it out on her own. Friends do not let other friends suffer. Please give me realistic advice I can tell her thank you. Teachers should be passionate about what they do. I am tired of having these teachers that hate what they do. We need to toughen certification standards.
