I am a high school science teacher.
I actually don't have a typical day. I work with teenagers after all! Most people see the "on stage" work a teacher does, but it's the "behind the scenes" work that most don't understand and that takes the most time. I am regularly checking science websites for new and exciting articles that relate to class topics. I find bookwork boring. I am also sure to watch TV for any shows or clips (The Daily Show is great for clips) that I can use to introduce new ideas or make topics more life-like.
Here's the first step for high school students
Realize you're not going to save the world but you might get a few kids each year to turn their life in a better direction.
""You should be something better than a teacher because you're too intelligent to be just a teacher.""
