Ii. the cons of teaching:
a. low salaries:
everyone knows—teachers do not make a great deal of money. not only is teacher pay relatively low compared to other professions, it also does not get much better over time. a teacher who has been working twenty-five years doesn’t make substantially more than a teacher who’s only been in the profession for three years.
b. the many frustrations of teaching:
1. frustrations with parents:
while parents can be a benefit and support in the classroom, they are also often a pain for a teacher—particularly if a parent makes many demands on a teacher’s time with conferences, phone-calls, and e-mails pleading for special excuses for a child’s lack of motivation. some parents (again, to many new teachers’ shock) can be belligerent or verbally abusive to teachers.
2. frustrations with students:
new teachers often begin their careers with visions of fantastic class projects and fruitful engaged discussions, only to discover that most of their students are either asleep or completely bored or disinterested by any area of knowledge. a new teacher often finds that reconciling his or her ideals with the reality of the trenches can be very painful indeed.
c. where did your life go?
someone once said, “teaching is a job for nuns and priests,” and what this person meant is that teaching is a job that consumes all of your life. presumably, the job is perfect for nuns and priests who do not have familial obligations to distract them from giving of all their time. because teaching doesn’t end when the bell rings at 3 pm; often that’s when clubs need sponsoring, sports need coaching, meetings need leading, and dances need chaperoning. it can seem endless. teachers may find themselves looking a little more wrinkly and gray in the mirror much earlier than they expected. teaching can age a person quite quickly.
which statement best summarizes the section, the cons of teaching?

what: when quoting a source, use the author’s words verbatim, or word-for-word. this means you shouldn’t change any grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. put quotations around the words to tell your reader where the quote begins and where it ends.

you also need to acknowledge the author. for example, if using mla format for your research paper, you should have in-text citations with the author’s name and page number listed at the end of each quote.

when: use quotations to provide concrete examples to support your claims. using direct quotations is a great way to build your credibility on the subject. it’s also a good idea to quote your source when the author states things in a powerful way. if you think he or she said it best, then use the exact words to share the ideas.

example: in the short story “a jury of her peers”, mrs. hale compares mrs. wright to her caged bird, saying “she—come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself. real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and—fluttery. how—she—did—change” (glaspell).

paraphrasing

what: paraphrasing differs from quoting because you restate the passage in your own words. since you don’t use the author’s words, you don’t need to use quotation marks. however, you still need to acknowledge the author for his or her ideas.

when paraphrasing a text, you should communicate the full meaning of the text; don’t change the meaning. it can be a condensed version of the text, or it could end up being longer than the source it’s paraphrasing.

when: you use paraphrasing when you take notes, or explain a chart or diagram to someone. paraphrasing highlight the important parts of a larger text. it also allows you to simplify the ideas for your readers.

example:

original: “it was no ordinary thing that called her away–it was probably further from ordinary than anything that had ever happened in dickson county. but what her eye took in was that her kitchen was in no shape for leaving: her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half unsifted” (glaspell).

paraphrase: as mrs. hales walks around mrs. wright’s home, she notices that the kitchen is in disarray as if she was in the middle of baking bread (glaspell).
