I am a really nice young teacher!


Depending on the students' age there are many aspects we can find positive or negative of being a young teacher, but it will always depend on how you manage things life brings to you…..
Like those days when you are standing up in the middle of the class trying to catch students’ attention and no one listens to you because they think you will ignore they are doing a mess.

Some cool things, so COOL!

+ Students feel identified with most of the things you do, the music that you like to listen to, the cartoons o movies that you like or even some activities, as playing in your X-BOX, go to karaoke, eat at FRIDAYS, hang out in the mall or watch the Family Guy cartoon.

+ As a young teacher, some of my colleagues or students find some help in me to solve any problem related to technology. For most people, being a young educator means you can manage any type of information.

Some things are just not cool! Not at all!

+ Students will look at you as a brother and they will try to misbehave in class, trying to convince you to let them do things they are not suppose to do in that moment.

Yes Danny that it is so true!

It’s really pleasant to be a young teacher. We have a clear and fresh idea about student’s interest and needs. But on the other hand Sometimes students think young teachers are their BF, simply because you listen to their great stories and smile. I remember a student invited me to go to her home because she wanted to play Barbies with me! She said that I was chevere ! . Another disadvantage is that some students have siblings at the very similar age as us, so they confused the way they treat them and want to treat us the same. I think young teacher have to cope with discipline problems.
