#1369: “So You Wanna Be A Teacher”

A lot of new teachers are becoming ex-teachers in a year or two, and that makes it increasingly difficult for the teachers who stay to live a well-rounded life while also being effective in the classroom. Basically, they have to learn to get a life.

Today on the Best of Our Knowledge we’ll talk to Dave Stuart Jr,  a high school teacher who has written about how teachers can reclaim their lives.

We’ll also hear from a teacher who has a less optimistic view of the profession…and we’ll spend an academic minute finding out how teachers can avoid becoming academic roadkill.
