If you chose to be a teacher, what grade level would you want to teach?

I actually did start my teaching degree in 2005 but moved state so couldn't finish it. I was studying to be an early childhood teacher which means from birth to 8 years. The kids have such wonderful absorbing minds at these ages and you actually seem to have more of an influence over them. They also seem to take more notice of you haha.

Without a doubt, I would want to be a fifth or sixth grade teacher, only being my son is in sixth grade, Being, I see what he's into, I believe I could utilize that into teching them skills in a fun way. I know me growing up, I didn't do well with the by the book teachers...I love learning more when it was fun

Well I am currently teach nursing at a small local college. However, if I were asked about teaching other levels, I do have a preference! I would want to teach around grade 2-3. I couldn't stand the high school grades as we have taken all control from teachers! At grade 2-3 the students still have some respect for their teachers! Ha!

I already made that choice earlier in my life and spent a number of years teaching at the middle school level. Mostly 6th and 7th graders. It was probably the most interesting time of my life. The kids at that age are so full of energy and always looking forward to the future. You couldn't help but feel the same way just from being around them.

If I were a teacher, I probably would teach Highschool students. I don't have enough patience to deal with toddlers. Atleast in highschool, students are more mature. =)

I think teaching real little kids would be great fun. Just think. Kids are like a blackboard with nothing written on it. They have everything to learn and what you teach them will be the beginning of their growth into adulthood..

I actually have taught the 2nd grade one full year in a private School and several other subjects. I teach the older children in Bible School and it's very hard..they rather sleep in then come early on Sunday!

Being that i have children ages 12,11 and 9 i would want teach students in high school.I think that would be a bit much for me dealing with the kids at school and then come home to my kids around the same age.

I would want to teach teens in high school. They would be a big challenge. But, they really need a lot of help, so that is what I would want to do. I rated u another + for a great post. Keep them coming my friend.

I love teaching high school kids. They have such a wonderful spirit about them. I dont think they are treated as well as they should be. People always look for the bad in teens and they dont praise them for the good. I see so much potential in the youth of today. The sad think it that they dont know they have this potential because people are always so negative with teens. I love all ages of kids from birth through adult. Infact I love people for the good in them.

I'm a teacher so can I participate in your discussion? Well, I always love teaching children. I think I have good talent in teahching children. Maybe because I'm childish LOL! For me there's not a more rewarding job than to be a part of molding children's ambitions and future. It is the foundation of their future educational accomplishment and the first teachers should be aware of this.

I have been a teacher at the college level. I would like to get qualified to teach at high school because I believe I have talents to share. but it requires special certification here.

For me teaching kids would be great fun, but i don't want to be a school teacher anyway. I have a short temper so i am sure that i'll always run out of patience lolzz. Anyway teaching kids would be fun if i get a chance, as i 'll be asking them question that i know they will give me silly sweet and cute answers. Am a kids lover so thats what i thought of when i first saw your post.

I had been teaching profession but now not and if i again start to teach to students then as same my past I would love to teach high school level. because I know my limitations I can't make understand primary level kids. and I am very keen to teach along with concepts. Actually at high level you do not need to pressuarize them. they know if you will do study then best will happen. they understand, so you just need to motivate and encourage, and they will automaticaly start taking interest.

I would choose to teach Elementary school students. The reason I prefer to teach them would be because I enjoy young children and watching them learn and explore so many things. I wouldn't want to teach High School level. I believe those students are more stubborn and hard to teach. Too much like myself. LOL

I actually thought about being a teacher once. I have 5 degrees and could easily get a teaching degree, but I think I would only enjoy teaching on college level. Anything below college level is like babysitting to me. LOL In order for me to do this I would have to get a masters degree which the desertation turns me off so much I will just keep my 5 BS degrees and not teach.

I am a teacher by profession (elementary school teacher).. and got my license last 2005..but not practicing it as of the moment though because of some reasons... :P well, I did choose to take up elementary teacher education coz since I was a kindergarten I have dreamed of becoming a teacher...and somehow my kindergarten influenced my desire to be one like her. She was really good and I've had a great solid foundation in education through her help and the love of educating us. and yeah, it does feel great teaching the young children to learn A B Cs and 1 2 3s and seeing them grow and turn out to be great professionals.. that just feels very rewarding!

I defiantly would want to teach Kindergarten. They are so young and innocent at this point. Plus they say the funniest things. Defiantly wouldn't want Jr High or High school...too much drama at that age and they can be ruthless. I give those teachers so much credit because I personally know I would not be able to handle them.

I would teach elementary school...like 3rd or 4th grade. Kids are so innocent then and haven't been jaded as bad, I think that would be the best grade to teach, for me.

Since I substitute teacher I already know that I would definitly not want to teach jr. or sr. high school. I would like to teach Kindergarten or maybe even P.E. class. There is just something about it when you see a child's face light up and be all Ahha! I got it! And the kindergarteners are so sweet.
