I got canned from an article in my school’s magazine too. It was about career changers but the journalist was hoping to find us surprised by the classroom and teaching and we weren’t. We were both third or fourth generation teachers so even though we had done something else, it was pretty much what we expected.

So true about social anxieties. One friend finished his masters about a decade ago in the kind of program where you do your student teaching last. After eight weeks of student teaching, he decided that he hadn’t gotten over high school enough to spend his working life there. He went off and got another masters in something else.

I enjoy reading your blog but don’t comment often.

I did my undergraduate at UCSC when they had no letter grades and this already was quite an improvement over my high school experience. I’d love to get some better ideas, though.
