Biggest misconception: an Art Teacher just does fun projects with the students, and doesn't teach anything. Mostly, they have Art so the real teachers can get a break.
Trust me, I know that Art teachers do more than just fun stuff, Steven! Whenever I have a student bring me a test or assignment (read the test, allow extended time, etc.,), I feel like I'M learning about art as well!
Biggest misconception about my job: The students can't learn. We modify work and accommodate disabilities and teach strategies to help them after graduation. I teach mostly Social Studies classes and I tell parents that I don't expect them to come home and tell them all about the Byzantine Empire but hopefully, they can spell it (and using the skills they've learned, spell and sound out other multi-syllable words).
