The qualification isn't everything, there are teachers with qualifications who are poor teachers. My friends sister and her class have just put in a complaint about their English teacher because the woman is just not interested.
Right. I didn’t mean to deter anyone from doing what they want to do. I just know that in America many are hung up on the notion that 'all one needs to do is to
want to do something and they can'. While this is a good attitude for the determined, it also leads to things like unfit or incompetent people holding positions they have no business in holding.
I personally know a girl who is terrible with her own kids –intolerant, impatient, easily annoyed, etc.- but for her job she is an elementary school teacher. When asked why about this seeming contradiction, her explanation is that she passed the schooling and she needs the income.
One can just imagine how the children in her class suffer to a degree for nothing more than her to fulfill her own personal desires. That’s not right.
So again I say, just because someone can do something, this doesn’t mean they should.
Seems to me there needs to be more emphasis put on matching personalities to the proper careers, rather than just what someone
wants to do.
Edit:
I agree. If I ever tried to teach my lack of patience would have half the class dead within the hour.
Lol! I just wrote about this! :)
