My wife used to teach college back in China. When she came here a few years ago she was thinking of teaching HS, but then she saw how potentially dangerous it was teaching HS kids around here (most HS kids here are at least the same size, if not bigger than her) she decided against it.

Hope you are teaching at a safe place

I have my final semester of law school coming up, and I teach a music theory class in the undergrad portion of the university. They start on the 24th, a week before we begin law classes. I'm a little ticked that I have to force myself into school mode 7 days early.

As far as right now? Just study hard and don't go nuts when you get to university. When you finish and get your first teaching job you need to remember that the first 2-3 years are pure hell for just about everyone. I've seen more than one teacher in tears. Keep at it and it eases up and gets A LOT better when you get a bit of experience under your belt.

A teacher who doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're"? Curious.

No problem. Surely, though, you can see why that's a little discouraging to me, since you have the responsibility of educating America's future.

make sure you take a classroom management course (it's not always required as part of your major, and is usually an elective). It will be the most useful class you ever take.

I take a bit more care when I'm writing on the board as opposed to an internet forum.

At least the kids seem to have a pretty cool teacher. I would love to become a college history preofessor but I'll settle for high school if all else fails. I am glad to hear that you like it so much:D
