What would you rather teach? Elementary, middle school or High school kids?

While elementary school, that has lot of fun and entertainment. I would like to teach elementary school kids.

I think if I had went to school to be a teacher as a lot of people wanted me to, I would have tried all three age groups. I usually get along with teenagers fairly well. A lot of them, however, has had parents that really did not give them enough time.

I am now working on my degree in education. I am interning at an elementary school. I don't want to teach elementary because their too whiny. It's always something like, he hit me, he's looking at me etc. I can't take it. By the time I leave school, I don't even want my own children to talk to me. I prefer either middle school or high school. Also I don't like elementary because you are responsible for teaching them all of the subjects. I just can't do it.

If I was going to teach, I think I'd like the little ones. Maybe about 2nd grade. Younger, and you'd spend all your time taking kids to the bathroom and tying their shoes. Older, and they start getting attitudes and not liking school. Middle school is just full of hormones, and high school you get the really bad attitudes, and the big time discipline problems.

I'm currently a grade 8 teacher here in the U.S. I used to teach grades 11 and 12 in my country of birth. I prefer to teach the teenagers because I tend to be challenged by them. I say this because I had a very sheltered teenage life, and has always been interested with one of the difficult stages of life -- the teenage years. I'm just amazed at how teenagers now differ from during my time. I want to help them because a lot of them have been going towards the wrong direction in life.

I would prefer to teach high schoolers just because the fact that I can give them detentions without tears. It would be more fun to teach the more difficult material because you yourself would learn new thigs every day. While teaching 3rd or 4th grade math would be just plain boring.

I would like to teach elementary school. they are the toughest of the lot. They are damn innocent and are just like molten gold. You have the power to shape them in any jewel you want.

I wouldnt want to teach elementary because they are too winy and highschool kids think they know everything, i know this because I used to be one, i would have to say middle school..Around 4th grade, there old enough not to cry, but young enough to not be pain in the butts...lol, we have all been there though.
