A teacher is someone who helps children to succeed. Teachers support kids so that they can have a good future and be happy. Teachers are going to do activities, grammar, developing habits, etc. Also, they need to be creative to create lesson plans because they need to captivate everyone and help each child to develop skills.
First of all, each teacher focus on a specific subject or grade level. In the classroom, they need to do creative lessons and do activities to keep children captivate by the theory. Also, they are correcting homework or exams. If they teach in elementary, teachers need to watch the kids during the recreation. Finally, teachers help students with difficulties or not to succeed during the year.
They usually teach five period. Three in the morning and two in the afternoon. For example, in elementary each period is a different subject like math, arts, science, French, English, ethic, etc. Also, they have a block of time each day, called a professional period, to accomplish paper grading. Teachers also perform administrative duties, such as spending one period assisting in monitoring students in the cafeteria or during the recreation. Teachers also need to be accessible to parents all day.
A teacher works at school either public or private. They also work at home when it is covid or when it is time to correct or plan things.

Being a teacher can be emotionally very difficult, and sometimes you are going to be involved in someone problem. A teacher is always dealing with each child emotion and his/her. Also, a parent can say bad things about you and cause you problem.
There is very little chance of this occupation being replaced by robots, or more precisely by artificial intelligence. Children need to have a real person to teach them. Teachers can captivate everyone, they can help kids with problems, and they make sure everyone learns what they need to become an adult.
Most teachers retire between the age of 60 and 70 years old.
