I remember my mom talking to me about going into that teach america program and ugh, not for me. I admire grade school/high school teachers cause I wouldn't want to deal with that shit.
I will probably end up teaching at a college which I can deal with. Even then I find myself kind of old fashioned in the sense of being annoyed by people that actively and for no reason disrespect teachers. Even in college. Here its mainly "passive" stuff. Kids who come into class ten minutes late (or more) EVERY DAY. It bugs me. Students that will talk in class, that start packing up and making loud noises zipping up bags, etc., etc. five minutes before class is supposed to be out. I have a bad feeling I'll snap on somebody at some point. It just bugs me for some reason. Especially since I don't really have any asshole teachers. I had a few in undergrad, this one fucking douchebag physics teacher who made this girl cry over her staple placement on a paper and liked to discuss his "god" status at NASA.
