Trying to get back in the habit of blogging.<\/p>\n
My best job<\/p>\n
The one I have now. I love teaching. I am certified to teach computer science, mathematics, and technology applications. By far, I like computer science the most, but it is hard to get enough students to teach it all day, thus the other certifications.<\/p>\n
That can be a curse, or a blessing. This year it started out as a curse as I was teaching math only all day. Next year I’ll teach 4 sections of CS and Webmaster the other classes periods.<\/p>\n
Frankly, Webmastering doesn’t turn me on. First, the kids don’t know what it is about when they take it. They think it is going to be a class where they can sit and play on the internet. Nope, we need to write webpages. I also don’t like teaching it because I am not good at drawing. So between fighting with students who don’t want to do anything and trying to get people to draw who don’t like it, it’s not fun. Besides, I don’t think I am accomplishing as much.<\/p>\n
When I teach computer science, I have two groups of students — a small subset that are really good at computer programming and usually had no idea they were when they started. And then a group of students who will just learn how it all works and will be able to better cope with it in the future. <\/p>\n
When I teach math, I get the struggling kids since I’m guaranteed not to have taught them before. I can really make a difference to them, as I can reach them a bit differently with the computers.<\/p>\n
My worst job<\/p>\n
Programming for Zales. In fact, that was my last full time programming gig. I wanted a job that was low stress, come in and do it 8 hours a day, and be done with it. It started out that way, but within a short time it wasn’t that way. I left after 3 months, and haven’t gone back to professional programming. <\/p>\n
By the way, teaching isn’t exactly a low stress job either — but the stress doesn’t last very long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
