do you have nice memories of you high school time?
I'm want to be a high school teacher, and i want to know if you guys/girls had a nice time there. Do you remember any of the teachers etc.
High school was okay for me. I was never the type to attend all those 'school spirit' events or participate in popularity contests more formally known as student elections/committe or any other similar shit like that.
Its elementary school that was the worst cause I didn't know a lick of English back then.
As for teaching at highschool, I think that that level of education is the best to teach at.
preschool teacher = having to behave all mushy with kids, play fucked up boring, childish games with them, etc, awful 
elementary teacher = same thing to a lesser extent + you have to deal with brat kids that you can't really be too strict with when necessary due to their still tender age
middle school teacher = much better but still its sort of boring, not remotely challenging
high school teacher = best place to be; get payed 2nd highest after university teacher, kids are old enough that you dont have to put up with any bullshit, you always get the 2/3 kids in the class that have a great sense of humor and make your classes interesting and relatively fun - its a lot more personal than university
university teacher = too much work, why bother imo
As for my teachers, i have very high respect for them. Especially during my final year, i seen them from a different perspective, they were out to help us and to teach us, they became more like friends. I don't think teaching is an easy job, with all the slack you cop off students and lets face it adolescence isn't an easy time and having to deal with 20+ students can be quiet demanding.
I think the teachers who i really connected with are the ones who treated me as a human and not as a student. I think they pushed down the boundaries and authority and made us equal. You have to learn to balance this however because people can take advantage of it and loose all respect for you as a teacher.
Plus the pay is very poor
Good teachers were an exception: I can count on my fingers how many teachers I actually enjoyed studying with.
Teachers need three things: good teaching (so many mediocre teachers out there: you've got to keep the students interested), discipline (although you get the attention you deserve if you're using the right methods) and some sense of humour is always good 
It was ok nothing bad ever happened to me! i just went cuz i had too! no nice memories though either! Sleeping in class was good :P 
i didnt have a great time, nor a bad time... it was okay. definatly a time that i have forgotten about, and dont care about either!

When I finally finished highschool(2 months ago), I was happy for the first week then I really missed it. I did have some great times, but homework sucks. 
high school....bleh
it sure as hell could have been better..ther ups and downs were too drastic so i didnt know how to vote
you should teach kindergarten while the minds are still fresh and uncorrupted
Despite seriously massive amounts of cuts and slacking, I had a great time in HS--i made some of my closest friends there.
my high school social studies teacher was actualy one of the people who inspired me to study history, so yes, you too can inspire shiftless youngsters
if you're having second thoughts about teaching rent "Dead Poets Society" or "Stand and Deliver--they'll perk up back up

sure
i had great time with some teachers and some friends, some of them after high school became my favourite friends.
great time but it's right that high school finish.
High school sucked... ignorance wasn't bliss back in those days 
school sucked. i just went to cause trouble and then my favorite class..study hall 
I hated high school so much...i actually changed from public school to private studies my last year.. i couldnt take it anymore...High school only brings bad memories to my mind... Good thing i had great friends.
course I remember. It was ok. I like things better now but I wouldnt trade my high school days for anything else.
i had such a great time in high school! my favorite memory is when on the last day, when we had graduation practice, nearly half the graduating class decided it would be a good idea to get up at 5 in the morning, get really drunk, then come to school. it ended up being so much fun, i think.
its hard to say. ive had some good memories, but for the most part, i disliked high school a lot. always wanted to get out before school got out. it was the worst. just wanting to always kick it with the homies and get outta that hell hole.
