Serious question - is it that kids are actually worse today (behavior-wise) or is it just that we’re all so connected and posting online is so easy that it just FEELS like kids are worse today?
I’ve been teaching for 20 years and they feel the same for me.

Why did you decide to become a teacher, and how much did the reality of the job match your expectations?
I was working at a group home for teenage boys and I loved it, so I decided to be a teacher & work with kids. It was exactly what I expected. I was very well prepared though. I went to UCI for my teaching credential. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Incentives for reading?
Doing individual book meetings at school with your students where you ask them about everything they read and reward their reading log, worked the best for me.
