I enjoy what I do, but I cannot speak for everyone. I can’t even say for certain I will like what I do in 5, 10, 15 years. Once you choose a path, it doesn’t have to stay your path. There are many other things to do, and your journey as a teacher will help you grow and understand where you want to go next, if you realize it’s not quite for you.

Do you regret becoming a teacher? Im asking because I really want to be a teacher but I feel like I’ll be bad at it and end up regreting it. (I feel like I’ll regret any occupation I choose, not just teaching.)

what was your worst class like?

What are your opinions on students who are over achievers? (Who go beyond the extra mile like writing a 10 page paper when it was only supposed to be 5 kind of student)
There is nothing wrong with being an over-achiever, but 10 pages instead of 5 is too much. 6-7 pages, maybe, but 10 is too much. Part of being a good writer is saying 10 pages worth of quality content in 5 pages – quality is better than quantity. We try to teach students to be more efficient. We also don’t want students to over-extend themselves when there is more work to be done on other topics and to practice other skills.
