Being a teacher can be a very rewarding job and many teachers enjoy being able to help students through what can be a tough time in their lives but not anyone can be a teacher. Besides from having a degree you also need to ensure that you have patience. You will often have to deal with a range of children in terms of their age, ability and behaviour. This can be very challenging at times but you need to be able to remain calm and speak to them in a professional manner. You may also have times when having to deal with parents about their child and you may find that they often become very defensive. This can be frustrating but again you need to be able to remain professional at all times.
One mistake as a teacher could mean you end up losing your job and even your career as if you overstep certain boundaries you may not be able to teach at any school.
It is always a good idea of teachers have other teachers they can vent to as they will help them be able to discuss their concerns with like-minded people and not have to bottle it all up.
