Becoming a Teacher
Why I Would Not Like to Become a Teacher

Teaching is hell. The reasons I would not like to become a teacher are simply just obvious. More work than pay i.e. low net salary, stress, strict rules, you got to have a lot of patience with students especially noisy ones, and spend a lot of time preparing topics for the next day’s work.

Teaching may look easy at first but once you learn more about it, it can be like hell-fire. First of all, and the most important is your monthly salary. I don’t like when you do all that hard work of teaching, teachers have to take out like say a 1/4 of their monthly salary to pay their taxes. I mean, you’re educating our younger generation but the teachers need a respectable salary, one that shows their position.

Secondly, the stress, the children and work put on the teacher. These stress occur due to preparation for the next day’s work and test papers to be marked. Another source of stress may come from children who do not cooperate with the teacher. The alternative solution a teacher does is scold them or put them out the class. In private schools, it is illegal to do that because you can lose your job.

Thirdly, is the patience you need to have in order to work with inconsiderate students. You have or have this to be a successful teacher, like me I don’t have any patience at all.

So what I am saying here is that I do not want to become a teacher because of the reasons I listed above.

I would not become a teacher because of the following reasons.

I would not become a teacher because of the mental fatigue involve in the profession. Today’s children are rude to there teachers, abusive even. In most classrooms today children think that because of wealth or a small amount of years separating them from their teachers, gave them the right to use indecent language. In some cases children even physically abusive to there teacher hiting them with pieces of wood or punching or kicking them. It is also mentally fatiguing

    Teaching itself is a very appealing job. As an educator, working with students to achieve a better education is a great experience. These people get to help students through the struggles of school and eventually be held accountable for some of the student’s success. This in turn creates a very gratifying atmosphere for a teacher, because not only are they somewhat liable for the success of a student, but educators are also important in teaching their students valuable life skills and career planning. These tools help students for the years that come after their education is over.…

    Teaching is undoubtedly an extremely demanding role to take on and as the quote by Donald D. Quin suggests, few are able to understand the pressures and stresses that this line of work brings. However, despite the intensity of this type of career, many are still filling up colleges and universities on training courses to do exactly this. Tony Buzan’s opinion above sheds light on maybe just a part of what drives people into assuming such a manic position in society. Training is a major part of becoming a teacher and all need this foundation to become the great teacher that they…

    Do you think teaching is an easy job? Many of us would say yes, but on the other hand, it is not an easy job. Our teachers don’t just teach children, but deal with the constant nagging of parents claiming their child doesn’t get treated equally or complaining about their child’s grade. This is when a teacher’s job starts becoming difficult. Every job has it’s ups and downs, but teaching is by far the hardest job in my opinion.…

    I have always known that I wanted to become a teacher because many of my family members were teachers and ever since I can remember I was always the teacher when my siblings and I played school at the kitchen table. I have always had a passion to teach children and watch them gain knowledge and grow even when I was young. I went to a one room school house when I was in elementary and I was always willing to help the teacher with whatever she needed. Ever since then that is how I have always been. I love getting up in front of students and seeing their bright young faces and teaching them a lesson and answering their questions. It is a passion that I have always had.…

    I want to be a teacher for several different reasons. I initially decided teaching was for me when I was in middle school. I had an amazing teacher that helped me through a lot. She made a huge impact on my life, and I knew then that I wanted to be able to do the same for other kids. I later went on to have children of my own, which gave me even more reason to become a teacher. And even with the economy the way it is today, there are actually a lot of opportunities for teaching given the wide variety of jobs a teaching degree can obtain. I also understand the responsibility that comes with teaching and that the job doesn’t end when you leave the classroom. That is why I respect the teaching field as much as I do. I know I still have a long way to go before I get to my teaching career but I feel it will all be worth it when I get there.…

    Each teacher can recount numerous highs and lows in their teaching career. Personally, I experienced many great moments while teaching. These were days when I ended so happy and enthusiastic that I knew I had selected the right profession. On the other hand, I had days where I definitely questioned teaching as a career. These were days where the students seemed uninterested, too talkative, or even worse a blow up occurred and nothing got accomplished. Thankfully the average combined with the positive days outshine my negative days.…

    I would love to write about how I wanted to become a teacher since I was ten years old, but it is not true. I just happened to get involved in a round-about-way. Having four children under the age of ten, going back to work was a necessity. I became a school nutritionist, also known as ‘lunch lady’. It was perfect hours, decent pay and summers off, what more could I ask for? On my second day, I met the special needs teacher, Jessica, who changed everything. She introduced me to her class which accommodated children with mild/moderate to severe disabilities. Every day they would come to lunch and I started doing small projects with them. I fell in love and wanted more. I wanted to become a teacher to work with these wonderful students.…
