Boring?

I am not sure whether it is the subject as U.S. History has never been my favorite class, or if there is another reason, but I am not finding teaching high school as interesting as teaching middle school.

I find myself questioning which I would rather teach. I hadn't even considered teaching middle school before I started the program, and now I have a lot to consider.

I also try to remind myself that although the subject matter seemed more interesting (less little details, and more overarching social themes) , the classroom management aspect took much more effort. I am also only a few weeks into this student teaching experience and I may start to enjoy it more before I am finished.

So, I have a lot to think about. I am still waiting to receive my score back for the Middle School Social Studies GACE test (I feel pretty good about it). I am glad I decided to take the test, so that I will have plenty of options when it is time to start applying to schools!
