Being a teacher never seems to be easy. I truly understood after being in NIE.

Its gonna be worst out there, in a school.

What does teachers have to do? TEACH? nope, fat hope.

Teachers have to plan what to teach, find what to teach, learn how to teach, care for students, motivate students, learn how to cope with students with disabilities, learn how to teach a class of 40 with 40 different personalities and learning abilities, think of new ideas and personalized the subject to capture the student's interest and attention, communicate with students, communicate with their parents, think of ways to discipline students, handle mischevious students..it just goes down the list. Unless u are a teacher, you never know the process besides just delivering in front of a class

A professor said 'Welcome to the most difficult and challenging profession in the world'. No qualms. Changing lives of our students. Making a difference in their lives. Noble huh.

Mental breakdown. Its a matter of time.

At least, we appreciate teachers better now.
