I’m interested in becoming a secondary English teacher (I live in Canada and I’m in grade 11) but I’m a little worried about my grades- in english and Social (grade 11 level) I ended with a 90% each with pretty consistent grades over 80%. I know that you need to take a few more classes up to the grade 12 level, so I’m taking Chemistry +others— and i SUCK at chemistry, I think I’m at a 70% right now! Will this one poor grade effect my chances of getting into a university for becoming a teacher?

Teaching in Real Life

Take a deep breath.  You will be fine.  In Ontario, only your Grade 12 marks count for entrance into university, and then your university grades for your entrance into a Bachelor of Education program.  I majored in English so I didn’t even need to take any sciences or math courses in my senior grades in high school.  What do you want to focus on?
