Teaching third-graders was the right choice
“I took kind of a circuitous route to eventually becoming a teacher. But it’s something I’ve wanted to do for the longest time.”
“I’m entering my second year of teaching third grade. I thought I’d want to teach middle school, maybe even high school. So, when a job presented itself for third grade, I was hesitant. But after my first year, I love it.
“The kids still respect you at that age. They’re still impressionable. They still love school. They still love their teachers as teachers. They still respect them as adults. I’m really enjoying it.”
