i teach 5th and 6th grade science. I used to teach 2nd and 4th grades. I loved both way more than the current teaching job im doing. they both had their good and bad sides. im a lot more relaxed doing the departmental but its boring. when i was self contained i got to teach about all types of different things and introduce my kids to new ideas without a time limit. now my schedule has no room to go one minute over time!
