shytty ass job where you gotta deal with bad ass kids

Part of the job is helping the youth... A lot of teachers really aren't meant to be teachers

I'm from South LA and I can say I only had 3 black male teacher from elementary school to high school.

Since your in school my advise is to go to teacher fairs and network with the employers there; even if your not a junior or senior. It's really building relationships. If you see a brother there go and ask for some assistance. He will help you unless he's a tom; also getting a degree in a STEM major will help your stock value.

I'm telling you from experience because I did it; I had teaching jobs lined up for me in Chicago, Louisiana and North Texas; but my school fukked me over. It's all good.

Thanks for the advice I'll do all I can breh. Appreciate it.

At my daughters school there is not one black teacher and only one male teacher.

The school system really needs more black male counselors who can connect with the black, at risk children.

There's more black teachers than you'd think, but they're mostly in the Elementary grades.

For real, my 9th grade counselor was really the first person who truly believed in me and said I could do something good with my life.

Yeah my mom was there too but hearing it from another black male from the same area as you really can make a difference in a life.

In high school there werent many male black teachers... substitutes too... But college... damn my math teacher... lol lemme chill. But arent there a couple of male teachers here? In middle school, the gym teacher became the dean.

I personally don't have the patience to be a teacher especially with kids from 8th-12th grade.I'd eventually knock one of them out

My moms was a teacher for 30+ years

My family all taught for CPS... idk how they did it...

I would like to be a high school teacher. So, after I finish up at my current position, next step is to become a high school bio/chem teacher and a linebacker coach in high school.

On the real my goal is to become a high school principal because there are not that many black male high school principals.

Yea mid/late 70's to 2005 she's been retired for almost 10 years

I had nothing but black teachers growing up.

Maybe y'all just grew up in white/mixed cities and or white/mixed areas.

The profession is high stress and low pay. I had a guy friend that became a math teacher, taught for a yr at a local high school, and then quit. He said that he got too close to going to jail cus of them damn kids. Now he works in sports management and is much happier.

EXTREMELY high stress.
