Luckily for me, I feel very strongly that I have made the right choice in career paths. I am so passionate about teaching the younger generations. I aspire to mold kindness, love, and critical thinking into the minds and hearts of the next generation. As much as I\u2019m sure this is where I\u2019m supposed to be, that doesn\u2019t mean I don\u2019t have doubts, or things don\u2019t get to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;color: #993366;font-family: Georgia, Palatino\"><b>Don\u2019t do it; you\u2019ll regret it.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: Georgia, Palatino;color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have heard this statement from countless naysayers and other educators. I know that this is my passion; however, there is anxiety that arises pertaining to this topic. We, as people, live our lives trying to avoid fear. We stay relative to our comfort zones and do things that keep us feeling safe. Safety is something I desire, which is why there is some anxiety and doubt that arises regarding education. The number one thing that shakes me to my core about becoming a teacher is based upon something that should not be happening in the first place.\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/education\/interactive\/school-shootings-database\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There have been 377 school shootings across America since the Columbine shooting in 1999<\/span>, with<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a013 shootings happening in 2023 alone. School no longer feels like a safe and inviting learning environment anymore. It can be an anxiety-riddled place with people wondering if death will be knocking on my own door one day. Yet we, as teachers, go to school with a smile on our faces, silently praying that we make it through the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;font-family: Georgia, Palatino;color: #993366\"><b>God bless you; it takes a special person for that.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: Georgia, Palatino;color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through fear, teachers persist for the sake of their students. The moment that your fear and nervousness show, it affects your whole classroom environment. I think teachers also subconsciously put on a smile for themselves. If we allow the fear to sink in, we would never see the inside of a school again. We make decisions about what we value more: fear or our students. The Florida legislature was passed in 2019, post-Marjory Stoneman-Douglass shooting, to help create a safer school environment. According to The Florida Department of Education, the Implementation of Legislative Recommendations of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission was passed and includes the following: created a standardized behavioral threat assessment tool, created compliance monitoring for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fldoe.org\/safe-schools\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Office of Safe Schools<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, requires districts to promote suspicious activity reporting tools, expedited transfer student records, clarification of school safety responsibilities at the district level. Since this bill passed into law, there have been roughly 30 school shootings in Florida.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;font-family: Georgia, Palatino;color: #993366\"><b>Aren\u2019t you afraid of everything happening right now to teach in this climate?<\/b><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: Georgia, Palatino;color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0The fear can take hold of me every now and again. From Uvalde to Nashville these events definitely hit home for me. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s ever caused me to question that this was the path I wanted to take. I try not to dwell on the ideas of what I would do in this scenario. My<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">feelings and ideas about what I would do would come from the training I would get at my school. I don\u2019t think it&#8217;s fair that teachers have to endure the possibility of losing their lives for their students or their jobs. However, I don\u2019t think school shooters are pondering the idea of fairness when they purchase their guns and make their plans of attack. This is a career that I chose. I assume the responsibilities come at my may. I choose to focus on my students and their learning.\u00a0 It is evident we need new ideas, but I am not sure what the solution is to this problem of epic proportions. However I do know, the national teacher shortage is heavily affected by this problem and won\u2019t resolve until the issue does: even just a little.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;font-family: Georgia, Palatino;color: #993366\"><b>You are never going to make any money.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: Georgia, Palatino;color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A heavily made comment, when telling someone you want to become a teacher, is how poor you\u2019ll be as an educator. People often tell me personally how I\u2019ll be broke and that I should \u201cmarry rich\u201d\u2013a real vote of confidence. As a teacher, at least I hope, you\u2019re likely not going into this profession for the money. You\u2019re doing it for the kids; if you\u2019re like me, it&#8217;s for the kids and the fun crafts. Money to me isn\u2019t everything. However, I would probably prefer not to be flat-broke. Florida legislators and Governor Ron Desantis have been continually increasing teacher salaries over the past few years. I would assume that this is an attempt to entice former teachers back into the profession and encourage new ones to stick around. In 2022 Governor Desantis and the FLDOE (Florida Department of Education) funneled 800 million dollars to increase teacher salaries. We were originally 26th in the nation for the highest starting salary at $40,000. Last year&#8217;s increase moved us from 26th all the way to 9th in the nation with a starting salary of $47,000. In Governor Desantis\u2019 budget proposal for 2023, he proposed millions more for educators. There is real potential for the <\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox35orlando.com\/news\/florida-lawmakers-want-to-raise-teachers-starting-pay-to-65000-a-year\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 700 !important\">\u201c<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Georgia, Palatino;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 700 !important\">Save <\/span><strong style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Georgia, Palatino;font-size: 12pt\">Our Teachers Act<\/strong><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>\u201d<\/strong>; some lawmakers are even filing this act with the intention of raising Florida Teachers&#8217; starting salary to $65,000. This would likely make Florida the state with the highest-paying starting salary for teachers in the United States. Take that naysayers!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-size: 12pt;font-family: Georgia, Palatino;color: #000000\">Teaching, just like any profession, is going to have its pros and cons. Some cons may be a bit more extreme than other jobs, but they\u2019re contentions nonetheless. It fulfills so many of my desires that are impossible to fulfill working in a 9-5 office or worse: a cubicle. If that\u2019s your dream, I applaud you; it\u2019s just not mine.\u00a0 I absolutely fill with joy at the thought of graduating and getting my own classroom. As much work as the education system needs, I choose to see the good: summers and holidays off, working with kids, and constant change. So to those who make snide comments to future (or current) educators, remember where you came from. Those people who chose to teach you over a \u201cfat paycheck\u201d or the \u201cwork from home\u201d dream: you would be absolutely nothing without them. To all future or current educators, you are valued whether you know it or not. You are leaders, friends, mentors, inspirations, and sometimes the only person to believe in your students. To every rude and undermining comment I say, don\u2019t let them make you second guess yourself. They might be selling new products or coding for cool new software, but you\u2019re molding the future. No insulting or degrading comment can take that away from you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Elise Sutter \u00a0\u201cWhy don\u2019t you just go into business or something?
