I'm great and patient with kids and I enjoy instruction. I just would prefer to do this in a place that pays teachers better than is the case in Kentucky.
Elementary is a good level to teach i would think. Another frustration of teaching at higher levels is that kids do not have the basics they need to learn things like mathematics.
Each level has it's pro's and con's.
Elementary
Pro - young and sweet, trusting and mostly respectful.
Con - Babysitting
Middle
Pro - becoming young adults, forming thoughts and opinions, finding new hobbies/interests, can engage in classroom conversations
Con - hormones, puberty, drama, etc...
High
Pro - adult like, responsibility lies more on them, intellectual classroom discussions
Con - knows everything and there's nothing you can tell them, sometimes a sense of apathy
