I feel that people choose to teach in the United States, because it does have a great school system. Across the world most children in third world countries are not able to even have a school. It takes a great passion for people to want to teach, it definetly is a very high risk high reward type of job. On one end of the spectrum, you have the chance to really motivate and cultivate you childrens minds and on the other hand you also have the chance to make them not too excited about school. I feel teaching in the United States is something that a lot of teachers like to do because it is something that really epitomizes what America is all about. Its all different children whether its different races or different religions, you get to learn something new every day. When it comes to being a teacher in the U.S. you get to play a part in molding a generation's mind and it really does have a direct correllation over their future. I do not think you could find one teacher who would say to you that he or she does not feel like they are positively affecting the future of a generation, because they are all very passionate about their work.
