Is teaching in the USA as shitty as information is telling me

Math. You'll be an actual asset. English teachers aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

Not really what I was asking for in terms of advice, but I'll keep your wise wise words in mind, friend.

Just pray you don't have to teach at a """"""urban""""" school. Around blacks, never relax.

I would say that you need to ask a teacher who has traveled the world teaching in other countries. I had one such teacher in grade school. She was awesome. She taught in Iraq before the war.

Well most of those are only truths in American society from what I've learned, and that mentality is the exact reason way.

Also
>implying Teaching is a field that anyone off the street could do sufficiently.

Go teach English in South Korea, Japan, China, Vietnam, or Taiwan for a few years then go back and get your masters to teach at a university if you get sick of living abroad. At least they won't make you pay out of pocket for classroom supplies and the children are much better behaved.

Teaching public primary/secondary school in the USA is awful, especially in the first few years of your career. The parents make it really bad.

Could you make a permanent career out of living abroad and teaching english in those countries? I always hear about programs to teach in SK and Japan, but it's usually for 1,2 or 3 years, not as a full career.

Live in a very well respected area. As long as it's not California it shouldn't be too expensive. I'm having the same dilemma. I wouldn't know what I should major in (thought about psychology), i'm not very good in math so majoring in a math or science would be unrealistic for me.English is too useless IMO.

Well, I'd very much like to live in a city, I've been in suburbs my entire life and quite frankly I'm sick of it.

I can do math, but it's not something I'm passionate about whatsoever, and I don't think I make a fantastic teacher for that subject. I'm majoring in it right now because it basically guarantees a job, but I'd be much happier teaching english/history, if I stayed stateside.

>shitty funding for education as a whole,
Americans actually throw a crap ton of money at education. A significant portion of it just ends up in the pocket of administrators.

I hear if you go to the Gulf and maybe a few other places in Japan and Europe, you can make pretty good money. You have to have experience though.

I'm trying to do this in China and spend two to three years abroad, come back and do God knows what
