Why do you want to become a teacher? No
matter what profession someone decides to get into, one must ask them-selves,
Why do I want to do this? In my own experience with trying to decide what I
want to do for my career, I had to make a list of pros and cons for each
potential possibility. At a certain point I wanted to explore the teaching
field and did a lot of researching. I found there were a variety of wonderful
aspects in teaching, and some not so fabulous things.
Some Positives:
- Always being able to communicate with people and there never being a dull moment because you are surrounded by so many children.
- The feeling of fulfillment because you are making such a huge impact on a classroom full of children. We as teachers will instill knowledge in our future students that they will take with them and have forever.
-This job is very rewarding because teachers have the ability to make their students feel special and help them to learn something new every day.
-We the teachers become more knowledgeable from everyday experiences in the classroom. “The more you teach others, the more you know afterwards". We learn from our students just like they learn from us!
Some Negatives:
-Teaching can cause a lot of stress. Working with people can always be difficult. When you are working with a class of 20 kids plus dealing parents there is bound to be conflicts which leads to stress.
-Teaching can be very tiring. Throughout each lesson/class teachers have to repeat themselves a lot which can get tedious. Teachers must have a lot of patience.
-A teacher’s salary may not be high enough for what you want to be making.
After reviewing some of the positives and negatives of being a teacher you must decide which outweighs the other. In my situation I decided teaching was not the route for me, not because of the stress, or because it can be tiring, or that the pay can be lower than wanted, but because the school setting just was not the right environment for me. I love working with children and I want to make a difference in their lives, just in a different way.
