Teaching Rocks

Welcome to simonisays, a blog about nothing and everything at the same time. I am a 25 year old social studies teacher working in Florida. When i started off college, i had no idea that i would ever enter the world of education. As a current middle school teacher, i must admit that i have never been happier in a job. Middle school students comprise an age group that is one of the toughest to work with. Students are not children but they are not yet adults. The transitional world that makes up middle school is full of growth spurts, mood swings and acne. While i never imagined myself in such an environment, for the time being middle school rocks. Students are still young enough to have a good time and not take themselves too seriously. They are also old enough to be engaged in meaningful conversations. Overall, I love my job and my students.
