Becoming a teacher is not as easy as it seems. It requires a lot of patience and self-confidence. However, most teachers say it is the most wonderful job but also vocational, which a lot of people ignore.
On the one hand, teaching includes a lot of challenges, like the variety of students with so many different needs, the time teachers spend outside school hours to prepare their lessons, class overcrowding and attending extracurricular activities, among other issues. Besides, working with parents, which can be a pro, is often a con, as wonderful parents can make you feel you're making the difference, but critical parents can make you feel frustrated.
On the other hand, apart from the weekends-off, as well as holidays and summers-off, a teacher plays a key role in inculcating good values in children and teaching them not just lessons from books, but lessons of life. Therefore, a teacher is really important in kids' lives, which gives you a gratifying feeling.
From my point of view, teaching is about loving your job and not just getting a paycheck. And, the most relevant aspect to keep in mind is that it is an exciting and rewarding job.
