It seems as though people tend to forget just how time consuming the job of a teacher really is. After reading chapter one a person can really get a good bit of insight into just how complicated the life of a middle school teacher really can be. The chapter begins by comparing different types of middle schools together from charter to magnet schools, but the main point that came across to me was the importance of the development of the students at such a fragile age.

People may seem to forget after becoming an adult the trials of trying to make an image of yourself that you go through during this years. The textbook makes great points telling teachers that it is important to focus on caring for the students and realize that they are going through a rapidly changing period in their life. It is the understanding of this that I feel makes a great and successful middle school teacher. One who can implement the multiple learning styles of different students, but not get overly frustrated by the students who are trying to find themselves. It is seeing these students start to grow into adults that really make being a middle school teacher rewarding.
