When it comes to teaching, it's hard to compare jobs with other teachers because each level is unique. And it's probably not fair to make assumptions that one teacher has it easier than the other. But...we teachers tend to do this all the time. So, I thought I'd take a humorous approach to the comparisons between elementary teachers and high school teachers. (Middle school teachers - you seem to have a happy balance between the two. Besides, dealing with all the hormones with that age group...you deserve a gold medal!) So, here's the battle between Elementary and High School teachers... Round 1: Bulletin Boards Score: Elementary - 1 High School - 0 Round 2: Classroom Preparation Score: Elementary - 2 High School - 0 Round 3: Grading Score: Elementary - 2 High School - 1 Round 4: Student Relations Score: Elementary - 2 High School - 2 Moral of the story? IT ALL EVENS OUT EVENTUALLY... No matter what age group you teach, I think we can all agree that teachers have pretty tough jobs at times. Have a great school year, my teacher friends!
