Sorry, in elementary ed you do need to take both science and math, because elementary teachers are expected to be able to teach all the subjects.
However, teachers in high school can focus on a topic such as language arts or social studies. On the other hand, even if science and math are not your favorite subjects, surely you can learn them at the elementary level. For example, usually only computation, basic geometry and algebra are needed through grade six… no trigonometry. Science varies a lot from district to district, but I doubt that there is as much science needed as you would need in nursing.
Again, elementary education is not “easy” for everyone, but it might be a better choice if science and math are your downfall.
You gonna be motivated to move those kids forward in the classroom?
Go to a trade school and get the LPN in 15 months. This cuts a year off your RN training, and you can get the RN while working as a nurse.
Are you good with your hands? Then do the LPN.
You don’t sound like you wuld be a very good teacher. You need to have passion above all else, that these kids need you in their lives to learn the material.
I started LPN school and would have finished had I had manual dexterity. But I feel I have more to offer as a teacher, because of my particular life experiences.
Do you want to be part of the problem or part of the solution? Yes, nursing is much harder and more demanding. But it is also a more fulfilling, and more honorable profession. Nurses are in demand and highly paid; teachers are a dime a dozen and paid likewise.
Nooooo…. Many people believe that education degrees are good ” back -up” degrees if their real career choice fails… that is sooo not true There are tests to enter the education program and tests to exit the program. After you are hired as a teacher attending courses and professional development sessions are a major part of this career. Not to forget about the tons of pressure from principals and higher officials about test scores. As a fifth year teacher I have realized there is so much more to education that has little to do with actually teaching students. Everyone talks about the lack of pay in this profession. Mountains of paperwork , after-school and evening functions, yearly evaluations ( after you have entered your fourth year of teaching)- there are more during your first years of teaching. I am going to wrap this up…. Teaching is a wonderful profession if that is what you really want to do… take time to think about it ….. don’t let it be something you do because it’s easier… because it’s really not any easier than any other profession.
You will need to take generally education courses–which can range from meterology, chemistry, biology and more, language arts courses, technology courses, mathematics–geometry, algebra, algebra 2, trig are all courses I took.
But, it doesn’t really matter if it is easy or not. Think about your life and your career. Teaching is a demanding job–you really need to have the compassion to what to teach children, no matter their age. Are you going to be in it for the long haul, or just taking those courses because them seem “easier”?
Also, as others have said, there are many exams you will have to take a professional courses even after you graduate. Think about it.
If you don’t want to strain your little brain, I advise you to choose different career paths than teaching or nursing. With both courses, you are basically guiding and helping the lives of people–often with their lives in your hands. If you don’t want to exert the work to be able to handle this challenge, you’re in the wrong profession. Being a teacher is not an easier program than nursing. They’re both challenging, but in different aspects.
If you want to teach elementary, yes, you will need to be proficient in science and math–how can you expect to be able to teach them well if you’re not proficient in them? You’d only be cheating students out of their deserved knowledge.
If you want to be a nurse, of course you need them! How can you expect to administer drugs, shots, or the like?
If you don’t want to work while in college, I suggest you either get ready to kiss your money goodbye because you’re wasting it and visit your future–McDonald’s.
