I do teach but I'm not a registered teacher. I have a teaching certificate in TESOL (teaching english to speakers of other languages) and have taught Bibles in Schools. TESOL thing feel through when most all the langauge schools closed tho and it was never really my thing. However I got the nuts and bolts of planning a lesson and how to go about it.
I don't plan on being a full time teacher tho its not something I can do well, mainly because I don't have the big voice that teachers have esp for primary children, and teaching adults which I have done, I've noticed that adults can take over esp men don't really respect females teaching them.
I do one on one tutoring tho in topics I have knowledge off am happy to do that with someone who's willing to learn.
My bachelors major was English and my Masters is in Library and Information Studies. But I don't really plan on doing a Phd or diploma in teaching, I have a diploma in Editing and Proofreading.
If God said hey you have to be a teacher - He would have laid it on my heart but I know teachers stress everyone out. I could barely get through my high school years because of the stress. To be a professor you need to present well, or even act the part. That's something I'm not doing. I think some teachers have a gift, if I'd been given the gift I would use it but my gifts seem to be elsewhere.
Its funny though I've been in schools where children came from the roughest part in one school to extraordinarily priveliged in another. It doesn't matter to me as long as they want to learn something, even if it's how to make friends though I'm not cut out to be a classroom teacher. Obviously. 30 children is a lot to handle at once and dealing with bad behaviour on top of that. But its not that- I would not have given up, teachers actually tend to give up when management aren't supportive and they pile on the workload. Relief teaching seems like it's ok for most but the downside is you can't establish much of a bond with your students when you do relief teaching.
