Personally, I think being an ed major is sweet! The courses are easy, but it's a lot of work. Your goal is: to cater to your students! Make sure that they're learning well and understanding what you're teaching them! When I first became an ed major, I was scared to death. I don't really function well around too many kids because I'll eventually lose my temper and kill a kid! haha! But, I guess it takes practice.
The first thing I noticed when I became an ed major, was that the majority of classes consisted of the female gender. This has to be every man's dream! haha! Every single class had about 24 - 25 women, and rarely was there ever a guy in the class! It's cool having so many women in your class, but there are disadvantages of having only women in the classroom. You'll hear someone talking about how they broke up with their boyfriend, another one talking about the girl across the room, another one talking about how much she hates that class you're in, another one talking about how much her fieldwork site is so rundown... I can keep going! haha! So besides having all the beautiful women in one room, you all have the same goal to become a teacher, and you learn so much from each other. AND the education department is the nicest department on your campus!! TRUST ME! LoL! At least it is in mine!
A cool thing about an education major, is that you learn so many strategies of how to teach the different subjects that are being taught in the schools. It's crazy what you learn and wish that your teacher from elementary taught you that subject that way. I took a course on how to teach math to students effectively, and I learned so many strategies that I wish my teachers taught me when I was going to school. I've learned a lot these past 2 years that I have been at this school, and I'm trying my best to apply it in the classroom!
Another good thing about being an education major, is that the courses are really easy. They are easy! Trust me! They're stinkin' easy! These courses just require a lot of work! It's crazy! Even though it's a lot of work, and you have to be very detailed with your lesson plans, all that work is worth it in the long run because you'll get so use to these lesson plans that you'll learn to re-write them and make them better as you experience different kinds of students! It's awesome!
Another crazy thing about being an education major, is that you get to see a child grow and develop different learning skills within the four walls of your classroom. YOU also have the privilege of showing them the world around them and the things that are happening in it! Witnessing a child learn something new is an amazing experience! So, even though I wont get much money, the experience is all the payment I need... I think! haha! Need to get that paper ya dig?? haha!
