I taught history for 13 years to high school students. Most of that was spent in schools with all the well-known characteristics of inner-city schools.
It was mostly a nightmare. Low pay, little respect, long hours, unreasonable demands from parents and administrators. Shootings and stabings. Fights. Threats. Lots of stress. It takes a very unique kind of person to be a successful teacher.
I am still in the education field (publishing) but now I love my job. And the truth is I would have never gotten my present job without the 13 years experience as a teacher.
