You are training the next generations of doctors, lawyers, artists, etc.


What do teachers do?

In primary schools, teachers teach a grade level (for example, kindergarten, first grade, etc.), and in high school they teach a specific subject (for example, mathematics, physical education, arts, and many more). They have to create a relationship with their students to keep them motivated.


What do teachers do on a typical day?

Before coming to school, teachers need to create lesson plans to make sure everyone is on the same level. At 8 a.m., teachers have to teach new things to children such as the alphabet for example. They can create games or add some humour to keep students' attention. During their "break" from teaching, teachers need to grade the students' assignments. During the day, they also have to respond to parents' emails. They have to give homework and assignments to their students at the end of the day. They have a lot of tasks to do, but the most important one is to assure the security of children.


Where do teachers work?

Teachers work in schools. They can work in primary school with young children. They can work in high school with teenagers if they don't feel comfortable to work with young children. They also can work in college or university with adults who are more mature.


How can I become teacher?

To become a teacher, you will need a college degree. To teach in a primary or in a high school, you will need a bachelor degree of five years. If you already have a bachelor degree in another field of study, you can also get a master degree in teaching if you want to be a teacher.

What are the dangers of being teacher?

With all the tasks they have to do in addition of teaching, teachers can do burn-outs. In fact, the burn-out rate is really high in the first two years of teaching.


What are the chances that teachers will be replaced by robots soon?

With the new technologies, the books have been replaced by computers, the old blackboards have been replaced by interactive ones. They could give computers to children to make them learn, but it will never be the same as having a teacher in front of them. Computers and robots don't have the human touch kids need to learn properly.


What age do teachers retire at?

The new teachers say they plan to teach for at least five or ten years because it is really exhausting, but the ones who stay after five years are likely to stay for all their career.


Conclusion

In conclusion, I am currently finishing Social Science degree to enter University in September. I will have to do minimum four years of University to finally have my job. I can't wait to work with children because it always had been my dream to make a difference in their lives. I hope you will find the profession you will love, and the profession that will make you happy for the rest of your life.
