In my family environment, there are six people
working as teachers, both my parents included. For this reason, family meetings
always include anecdotes and comments about school or
pupils, so I have been able to understand what being a teacher is like. Some
people undervalue this job, focusing on the amount of days of vacation teachers
have and on their timetables. They think teaching is something easy, at least
not very hard, and complain about the idle life they have. However, they are
wrong.
On the one hand, being an instructor is a nice
job. You have a worthy salary and, as I said before, you have the same holidays
as a student to travel, spend time with your family and relax. It is not a
monotonous job: every day is different, it is not as if you worked in a
factory. Apart from that, you spend your life teaching pupils and making them
learn things that they will apply to their lives. If you like this job, you
will enjoy your class time when you realize that students are interested in
your subject.
On the other hand, you have to deal with the
pupils, and there are some of them that may be rude to you and complicate your
lessons. You can meet excellent people, but also conflictive and bad-mannered
ones. In addition, education at school is not sometimes in keeping with
education at home, therefore some decisions taken by teachers are not approved
by parents, and that can create a conflict.
To sum up, becoming a teacher requires
vocation, because carrying this profession out might get really difficult and
stressing if you don’t like children or teenagers. Despite the popular belief,
being a teacher is a demanding job, since you are forming individuals to become
adults, so you ought to be a role model for the pupils.
