People don't understand the amount of work and heart teachers put into their jobs. Most teachers work well beyond what they are asked to. It definitely shows what teachers are there because they are passionate about what they do. In my field previous two field classes there were a lot of teachers who are just giving up the profession all together due to all the changes here recently in the Education system, and honestly it's very disheartening. Being a teacher is more than lesson planning, classroom management, and staff meetings. A teacher wears many hats, we are psychologists, cheerleaders, nurses, you name it. While I believe teaching is one of the hardest professions I also find it by far one of the most worthwhile!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00100199779235352941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363062218097959151.post-45084062894072473562014-01-25T21:47:43.314-05:002014-01-25T21:47:43.314-05:00Ah I have gotten this question and I am only a fre...Ah I have gotten this question and I am only a freshman in college...

To be honest...I got asked that question a lot too. To be honest, sometimes I wonder if they are right, if teaching is that hard. I got told once:"you could be anything and you decided to become a teacher?!?" That was coming from one of my high school teachers by the way (WHAT?) Just like you, I've learned to focus on the positive and what made me want to be a teacher in the first place :) Do you have a class this year?
