TOKTWD day 2022

For take your kid to work day I went with my dad to his school maillard middle. My dad is a principal and has to wake up early every morning which instantly went under my cons list for this job. However he didn’t want me to spend the whole day in his office with him because he takes care of “private information” so he put me in a French classroom since I’m in French Immersion. I interviewed the French teacher a bit about her job and then I did my own exploring. She said that she loves her job because she loves working with kids. She claims it’ rewarding to be apart of a child’s academic development and journey. She says that it can be challenging at times but loves it none the less. She says you need to go to school after graduation for at least for years with a major and a minor. She majored in French and minored in geology at SFU foe five years. When she told me about the personal attributes that help with job, I wasn’t too sure this was the job for me. she said you need patience, kindness and heart. I have no patience, not for kids, not for strangers, although especially not for kids. As I circulated the room I noticed that I don’t like WORKING with kids. SO despite all the breaks you would get, I don’t think I could be a middle school or elementary school teacher.
