Most teachers are employed at primary or secondary schools. At first, they have to choose a specific subject and a level to teach. For example, if you really love children, and you don't want to teach a specific subject, go to become a teacher at the primary school. Second, the teacher has a lot of responsibility because they have to keep the attention of children and learn them some things while they have fun. Finally, the teacher has to be productive, but a lot empathize.
At first, the teacher has to prepare the seance of the course the night before because it is important to be well-prepared, and in that way, if a theory isn't understood, we can comebacks on it. After, the teacher usually arrives before class to prepare the things to do for the day. The adult in front of the class has to be creative and be comfortable dealing with a spectrum of personality types. Then, the most important objective is that the children learn things, and leave the class happy.
They arrive at school maybe one hour and a half before the students. The teacher does the plan of the day and does the photocopy. After the children go to class and the teacher starts explaining the plan of the day. The day starts and at 11:30, it's diner time. The teacher took that time to take a breath and do some corrections or prepare the activity for the afternoon. In the P.M., the students keep listening to the teacher. The day ended and the teacher explain the homework for the night. Once the teacher is home, he does some reparation or corrections.
They principally work in a school, but sometimes, they can teach at home and be a private teacher.

First, many teachers have mental problems because it is not always easy to deal with children. School kids can be difficult and mean. Second, it can be redundant to teach the same things over and over again. Third, yes students are difficult, but parents are worse. They often complain about the style of teaching or about the activity.
There is no chance that teachers will be replaced by robots soon because the advantage of being a real person is that you can accommodate yourself to any situation. Robots are not programmed for that, and often, teachers have to do joke with children to entertain them. Robots cannot do that.
The normal retirement age for a teacher's pension plan is 65 years old, and the earliest retirement age is 55. This is the goal, but a teacher decides by himself when he wants to stop working. During the year, you will turn 71, you are going to get your pension and, even if you are still working.
