my masters also. I chose to major in Reading p-12. I hope to be a Reading Recover teacher or an EIP teacher so that I can still do the work I love but not have a homeroom to deal with. I feel that this would be better for my family and myself. So don't feel bad if someone tells you that you just aren't cut out for teaching or you should quit if you feel the way you do.
