/lit/ - Literature

What a stupid fucking question, as if anyone here could tell you what you should do with your life. Here's some advice: grow the fuck up and make your own decisions

I'm asking for experience from anyone else who's followed the same path in recent years, or even those who gave up and quit, you insufferable cunt.

If you're that fucking dense as to not know the meaning of the word "advice," then what the fuck are you doing on a literature board, faggot?

>>8980386
I would try to gain access to private schools so you can make your own curriculum and not be hassled by the man. If your passion is teaching our youth how better to appreciate lit, i would say your goal is a noble and needed one. I do wish you luck!

>I'm asking people who have already lived my life. Please tell me how to do it right
LOL, fuck you faggot. You were doomed since the day you were squeezed from your mother's womb. Keep asking how to do it right instead of actually living you insufferable piece of shit.

Aren't private schools havens for parent donations, though? I've heard of not being able to actually penalize students because their mom or dad donated 10k to an east wing in the school, and doing anything results in a big stink.

well, you could try tutoring individual students or something. i dunno, man. i think until the curriculum is unlocked from themgovernment's clutches, you're gonna have troubles. what about foreign nations that speak english? maybe they would be able to provide you with more opportunities.

>the beauties and nuances of literature

Hahahaha

>still doesn't know the definition of "advice"

Do you have a handgun nearby? Preferably one that fits into that large sucker of cocks, yet can still manage to find what microscopic amount of gray matter you have left and blow it into pieces so tiny none of us will have to see or hear about it again.

I hear they sell for less than $500.

Truly nuanced and beautiful.

I wouldn't worry about that. I have a lot of friends who are teachers in ny and even though there may be some issues with private school kids, they pale in comparison to the issues of the students in the public schools. Teaching literature to public school students would surely be a thankless task unless you can get a job in one of the more affluent towns in westchester/rockland county etc. Most public school students aren't going to give a fuck about literature, I've heard countless horror stories about teaching in public schools in ny including a student stabbing another student in the classroom.

Rockland is actually where I grew up and went to school, it's a story I've heard before.

Do they like doing what they do? Even if it is "thankless"?

Seriously though, you are a fucking idiot.

You say it's been your passion for a long time yet you are discouraged by memes (le ebin leftist academia xD) and something that happens to everyone no matter their degree (extensive work and lack of guaranteed job). What a waste of air. It's not your passion, you are just insecure and want us to confirm your beliefs, so that if you fail you can blame it on someone else because they gave you "bad advice".

It's not always going to be nice, but to be a teacher you need passion, something that it seems you lack. And if teaching is what you want, it will be worth it.

Take this piece of "advice" from an actual English teacher who didn't need some random fags in a cantonese knitting forum to give him advice.

No, most of them are fuckin worn down and jaded by the experience. Not to mention they get paid absolute shit

I decided against becoming a teacher because I couldn't handle the idea of having my job dictate such a large part of my identity.

It will only be worth it if you can land a job in a nice private school, which is composed almost entirely of white students, and you are able to teach advanced classes. Otherwise, you are going to make your life a living hell.

Wew, got some pent-up aggression there, buddy.

>>8980386
summers off and an average of $50,000 a year sounds good to me. It's only as hard as you make it on yourself by being emotionally involved in your class.
