I was born and raised in Chicago, so I would really like to teach in Chicago too. Having gone to Chicago public schools as a child I can see the different aspects that it has to offer a child; some of the thing good and some not so good. I think that having experienced the school system it has really help prepare me to become a teacher. I am an Elementary Education major and a TESOL minor. However, I don't think I really became enthusiastic about teaching until I started to take TESOL classes. So, I am really hoping to become a ELL or ESL teacher.
I think that it is very important to stay knowledgeable and conscious about TESOL issues. As a teacher you have to know what is going to affect you and your students. If a new law is passed or a policy is put in to place, as a teacher, you have to understand it to implement it. If you are against a policy then you have to know what is is about to and why you do not agree with it, so that hopefully you can change it or prevent it from passing. Being informed about TESOL issues is important because it can help you to create a better way for students to learn.
