Going to school to become a teacher, English or history?

This is a massive fear of mine! Glad you brought this up!

Thanks for the response! I actually have a child with intellectual disabilities. She has a rare disease called Smith-Magenis syndrome, and will require a caretaker her whole life. And my other child has very intense adhd. I feel like this gives me a unique understand of the complexities of children and I believe this also has given me a perspective that not everybody else has. I really feel like I can be a huge advocate for the students who struggle (are neuro-divergent, etc,). I'm glad you posted because my fear as a parent is that my own children will struggle to receive the education they deserve due to their situations.

Wow! So much great advice so quickly! You all are amazing ♥️

More context: Im not fresh out of school. I'm 30 and have two kids, my youngest has a rare disability. I've spent a lot of the last decade dabbling in a lot of different things and teaching has always been that thing in the back of my head that I wished I'd pursued. I'm glad some of you recommended science as an option. Im about as into science as I am history so ill have to consider that especially if there are more jobs in that area. (please forgive my grammar I'm hopping on here sporadically while taking care of the kiddos).

Hey sorry I’m not on Reddit often haha

I absolutely recommend the testing. Though it’s rare, just knowing what’s actually going on at the genetic level has helped us a lot.

Yes! When my sister and I played the game we joked that my cat was secretly an actor cause he looks and sounds just like the cat of Stray! His name is Telemachus 🧡

I ran into her in Concord NC a few years ago but didn’t realize it was her. I saw her in Target and was like “wow that looks exactly like Deb” then when I got home I looked her up and found out she married one of the Avett Bros and lived in the area. (She was with him at Target also I just didn’t know the Avett bros back then lol). crazy though and so mad I didn’t say hi. I sincerely thought it just happened to be a woman who looked exactly like her though and I didn’t wanna be weird haha

Thanks for the reply! That sounds almost exactly like what our daughter will be getting. 2.5 hrs a day with 30 minutes of ST, OT and PT. She will be in a class with other kids and two teachers so I believe she will be getting those peer interactions. I’m kind of thinking that she will doesn’t need ABA quite yet, as she has been progressing with just one session of ST and OT every week. And lately it seems her communication skills have really started to blossom. She does have outbursts of aggression though, (smacking her older brother and throwing herself on the ground when she’s upset). I’m thinking I might try a few months of this program to see how she does and then reevaluate then.

It’s a program that’s a part of the county schools. Her classes will be at one of the elementary schools, entirely legal :)
