Glad i am not alone

While looking through teachers live journals i came across an education student with the same worries and fears that i have. he explained that there is constant turmoil between your own learning and learning to become a teacher. he talks about not really understanding what it is to be a teacher until you are out experiencing it for yourself. In school you will be taught the process of teaching and as he describes it, “ways that teachers make your life a living hell.” You do not see the importance of usefullness of this information until you can go out an apply it for yourself. With this week coming up (tutoring talk begins) i felt it appropriate to vent about this. Whether its an hour once a week or an hour 5 times a week, we as future educators are not going to get the experiece that we need to feel comfortable claiming i can teach. Teaching is a very personal profession, one that i feel you have to work at independently without the aide of other teachers. i know that i will not be comfortable teaching until i have my own class where my rules apply and i can personalize everything i am teaching. how do you teach that in college?
