This is what I've found in teaching. Math is my best subject so I always thought that's what I'd be great at teaching. However, I'm best when teaching writing which was always my worst subject. I guess it's because I struggled with it so I know how to foster and help the students. I was shocked when I had teachers coming to me saying that the administration told them to observe my writing classes.
On the flip side, JJ is great at writing, but better at teaching math. We always compliment each other like that. I can't wait until he starts his math classes for his Master's...it's going to be fun to help him or just do the work with him.
However, I would never teach high school. I hate teenagers. My preference is k-3.
