I don't see the point of being a boring teacher, seriously. And I know that sounds weird, that people think it's not something that can be controlled, but it genuinely takes about an extra half hour/hour to come up with a way to teach that'll be interesting for pupils, and as a result it'll be more interesting to teach! Shock, eh? It's totally possible to enjoy the job. And enthusiasm for your subject is genuinely something that transfers itself to pupils, too, which makes classes go - boisterously, yes, but well too. I keep getting comments about how students are contributing in my classes who usually just stay quiet, and that's one of the most rewarding things to be told. :)
