I am considering being a 6th grade teacher. Is this a job that is worth putting time and effort into?

Question

Is this grade a good grade to start teaching with or is it too high? Please answer in detail.

Answer 1

Teaching is worthwhile but you would probably make more as a registered nurse.

Answer 2

As a former 6th grade teacher......See if the 6th grade is in elementary school or middle school. If it's in middle school.....RUN! The kids are tough to deal with, there is little support, and many behavior problems. If it's in elementary school, go for it. They are better behaved because they are still schooled with the younger students.

Answer 3

teaching any age is a great profession, but you need to make sure that you have patience for younger grades, and older grades you need to be tough, kids get tougher every year, so definitely need to have a backbone

Answer 4

It all depends on your comfort level with kids. Do you prefer younger kids or older kids. Are into arts acnd crafts type stuff, then you want to consider working with younger kids. Look into your states dept of education
