Day of the Interview: Febraury 14th 2007
Location: Lev's apartment in the Upper West Side
Sandra: Lev, for how long have you been teaching in New York?
Lev: I'am teaching in New York for an year and half, I am about to finish my second year of school teaching.
Sandra: What do you think about teaching in New York?
Lev: Well, I love teaching, it's been great and the kids are great and it's an hard job but nearly as hard as I thought it would be and mostly is because the kids are so cool. The hardest part is coming up with lessons everyday.
Sandra: I can imagine!! If that is the hardest part, what do you think is the most rewarding part of the job?
Lev: You know, you see the kids learning everyday new things and, I don't know, I think may be in some time like I'll see when the kids get back from university and see what kind of job they take, I think that will be really rewarding but I don't think that comes for a few years.
Sandra: Do you think there is something particular about teaching in New York?
Lev: Well, I think what's nice about New York is the kind of diversity that we have which gives you the possibility to work with all sort of different kids and kid's whose parents come from all over the world and I think for example that if I was working in Kansas wouldn't be the case!
Sandra: If you weren't a teacher which other job would you like to do in New York?
Lev: Well, you know, I think may be being a fireman would be kind of cool because, you know, they are the most brave people in the all city and everybody look up at them and...why are you laughing Sandra??!!
Sandra: Well, I think that's really funny!!...let's go back to "teaching"...If you had to give a suggestion to a new teacher what would you suggest?
Lev: I would tell him that they have to be prepared to work really long hours, like you come home after work may be around 5 or 6 pm, you have a very quick dinner and then you basically start planning lesson again, you never stop thinking about the job untill the summer comes!!
Sandra: So, basically you are looking forward for the summer time to come??!!!
Lev: Always!! When this last summer time ended I was already thinking about the next summer time! you never stop thinking about it!
Sandra: So, where would you like to be this summer?!
Lev: Well, I can think of few good place like to may be go back to Europe this summer and spend the summer in the south somewhere...could also be nice to go to South America: may be Costa Rica, Chile could be cool, I don't know but I don't want to stay in NYC over the summer.
Sandra: Let's hope this months pass quickly then!!
Lev: Definetely!!!
Sandra: Thank you very much Lev!!
Lev: You are welcome, anytime!!
