Lesson plans

Guest post written by Constance Rodgers

I have a degree in education, and I knew I wanted to be a teacher since I was in high school. I love my job and am thankful to have a job that I truly enjoy, especially in these tough economic times. I hear teachers complain quite a bit about the pay, the large class sizes, and the impossibly high standards we are supposed to get our students to reach. However, I do not think the pay is that bad considering how much time we have off. I do not think large classes are the end of the world, although it would be a lie to say that smaller class sizes does not make teaching easier. And while some students will never reach the standards, there are many students who are smart, capable, and motivated who are sitting in my classroom every day. I have my internet through clear Bremerton at my home, and our district provides us with access to lesson plans that I can work on from home. I feel supported by my administration and the district. It is a rewarding job with some negatives but also many positives. I would not want to be doing anything else.
