I went to school for elementary school. It was scary how many people in the program couldn’t spell and had horrible grammar. The one stand out though was one girl who I was assigned to be in a group project with. Her part was completely unacceptable and I said something along the lines of asking how could she expect to teach. Her response was that she would just teach second grade and under or special education.

My mom was a teacher for thirty-seven years and has been retired for a bit now. The last of her friends recently retired but is still doing some consulting working for the school. She said the quality of teachers coming in are overall not good. We’re in an area the pay isn’t terrible.

N.B. - I ended up not teaching.
