young, old, or in the middle?
so i've put the idea of teaching on the back burner while i was on break. but now, i'm back to thinking about it again. i was talking to some of my friends about how i might go into teaching. betty suggested that i would do better teaching the old (those in college) or the young (those in elementary), rather than secondary education (6th grade - 12th grade). well the program i'm applying for is secondary education, but i had thought about doing elementary. if i wanted to do that, i would either have to do the certification more by myself, or wait to apply for fall 2007 for the masters of education program.
anyways, i guess i'm wondering what i should do. am i better suited for the young, old, or middle-aged students? thoughts?

Well, your experience certainly tends toward the young, but you're closest to understanding the old. It's kind of hard to know how you'd do with the secondary kids. But here's a question: if you get certified to do that, can you switch to a different level later or do you have to be recertified?

i think that i would have to get recertified if i wanted to change to elementary.
