I am a teacher in Canada, so it is quite a bit different from the US but one thing seems to be the same- rough time to become a teacher. There are NO jobs here! I am very lucky to have a job right now but when my contract ends in June I am not guaranteed anything.
Teaching is BUSY- hence why I am hardly on here anymore- no time! But I 100% love what I do. I teach high school English and every morning (ok- MOST mornings!) i LOVE going to work.
I read you are interested in younger children so my "downfalls" wouldn't apply to you. There is a real sense of entitlement in high school, and I guess that could apply to elementary as well. The way the kids are being raised right now is not how I was raised and that can cause conflict because I won't take the crap they try to pull!
I wish you all the best finding a job. It is a WONDERFUL profession!
