I know that I have a handful of retired teachers who are active in commenting on my blog. I know that I also have a handful of college students who have left me great questions and comments. What I don’t know is what the average reader or visitor of So You Want To Teach? is. This is completely anonymous and you don’t even have to leave a comment. I just want to get an idea of where the readership stands.

Dear Joel,
Except one vote on your poll, I like to tell you more about me. I’m a schoolmanager of a secondary school (670 p) and I’m also busy on a PhD (subject: research on an effective learning and teaching model on the biology of behavior in secondary school). For this sake I searched on the web for stress and so I came tot your site. Because of recognition I follow now your feed.
Stress in school is also in the Netherlands a known problem. When I became a teacher, 11 yrs ago, I learned that class (mis)maganement is an universal problem! All beginning teachers all over the world have the same experience. Of course, each in the own culture. So, I think, it’s the same with stress… ?
Greetings,
Anco van Moolenbroek
The Netherlands

the categories are (strangely) in alphabetical order, instead of by experience.

yes, it’s strange, but no, that’s not alphabetical either. What is it?

Anco: It’s great to hear from readers around the world! I appreciate the comments on stress. This year has been, despite circumstances, the least stressful year of my teaching. Even though I don’t understand Dutch, I really did enjoy the Psalm 84 video you have on your blog.
Jonathan: I thought about not answering and just letting it bug you for years to co me, but nah. You see, they were initially in order by experience. I think it sorts them based on the most popular answer, though. I fixed it, so they should be displayed in order of experience now.

I am enjoying watching it too. The numbers are broken up a little off. If I had put 0-5 years instead of dividing that category, we’d see that 45% of the readers are in that category. I understand that part of that is the technology gap, but it also makes me happy to know that my target audience is being reached!

Welcome to SYWTT! As I wrote above, you are my target audience! I don’t want people to have to go through what I went through so I want to provide an alternative!
