intro to eme2040

This semester i intend to learn more than i did last semester. I plan on taking teaching a lot more seriously. My instructor has proven to me that he is willing to have his students learn beyonf the textbook and i truely do admire that aspect of teaching. My goal is to become a complete sponge.
For the time being i may change the school i want to teach i want to teach. I wanted to teach high school first becaus e i feel that i would be able to conect with them better than middle schoolers or elemnetary students. However what i would like to do and what is in demand appear to be too different things. Currently it seems that elementary teachers are in more demand then highschool.
I have heard the there are alll kinds of budget cuts going on in the school system especially in the electives and my goal was to become a highschool art teacher. I may have to consult with my instructor to see what option would be best for me. I am positive that I doint want to teach children in middle school because based on society today middle school students are somewhat allready in a highschool stage when they are "finding themselves". Hormones are raging and they get these bright ideas when they want to test authority.
I will have patience for all my students but i just feel that middle school is just not the place for my tolerence for disrespect as an adult. In the course i must say thet I'm looking forward to learning how to create a lesson plan. I am yearning to know exactly what my teachers went through for me to learn in highshool. I believethat this would make me very appreciative of the knowledge that I learned and will learn from my teachers past and teachers present. I also want to become a more efficiant students. This semester isn't just about learning how to teacher but how I can become a better student to my teacher. I beleieve that i am reaching a turning point in this whole procees of teaching. I see it as a beautiful understanding now between teacher and pupil. I am ready to learn this semester.
I hope your ready Mr. McNair...
