How hard is it to become a teacher in the US? Not a college professor

It's not hard at all, considering the trash we have as teachers today.

Just do us a favor and don't be that bulldyke math teacher that genuinely ruins male's homework. We actually had that happen here.

I have no idea what the fuck you mean by that, but unless the subject I was teaching was politics or history, I wouldn't bring any sort of bullshit politics into my teaching.

My gf is on the brim of become a teacher. 4 year degree in education, and a few certifications that are fairly easy to receive. It's not hard, but it's not easy. It takes a lot of work. It also depends your state. I believe in Hawaii, Alaska, and Utah they're desperate enough that you don't need a degree.

not very difficult. the country has a teaching defecit rn, because pay isnt great and the work can be very trying on your patience at times (from dealing with students and administrative decisions that may affect your teaching style).

that said, just get a degree in what youd like to teach, then get your masters in edu. i think that people without a masters can work as TA's, but obviously the pay and responsibility arr severely lower than those for a regular teacher. you can do it if thats what youre passionate about OP

Exactly how bad is the pay? I know that kind of depends on the state (cost of living and all that), but I've heard repeatedly that teachers make almost nothing relative to the effort put in.

Not a teacher here but honestly I get a little butthurt when teachers complain about this. Pay can range a lot state to state and school to school but I would guess the national average lands around $35k-40k annualy. But that seems pretty good to me for working 3/4ths of a year and having ~2 months off.
