What fantasy world do you intend to move to

... because that's what you'd fucking need.

You think you are going to just get a teaching job teaching the best of the best, which is probably some elite private school in some neighboorhood where most teachers entire paychecks for the month won't clear the house payment alone?

Yeah. Cause your that special one that will graduate the top of your class with a book on a new revolutionary teaching method already published and go right to the elite schools.

No jackass. Let me tell you what your life is. Your life is adjunct and sub positions for a bare minimum of 2 years, and at least a stint in a behavioral or special ed classroom. Then, when you are lucky enough to get a job, you will take it and be glad for it. Then, and only fucking then should you start thinking about teaching gifted anything.

On top of this--the kids in the nicer school? Not necessarily gifted. They're just less likely to have problems* and have parents pushing them. They might be writing perfectly adequate five paragraph essays with approximately no content.

I know because I get a lot of these kids in freshman college courses I TA. Perfectly adequate. Only that. Not gifted at all.

The one or two gifted kids in the class full of kids who can barely read, in the poorly funded school with problems? They need you. And so do the other kids.


*THE PRIVATE SCHOOL CAN EXPEL KIDS WITH PROBLEMS. The public school in the suburb is more likely to have parents who can afford outside tutoring/therapy.

Or you could get a math or hard science teaching degree and get a job pretty damn quick. :D

Half of even the gifted kids will probably have an irrational math phobia.

Hey, I managed it! :D

(Well, Honors and Std Physics, which has a pretty high percentage of the gifted kids, though honestly, I think my standard-level class is more fun a lot of the time)
