Why I Would Not Like to Become a Teacher

Why I Would Not Like to Become a Teacher

Teaching is hell. The reasons I would not like to become a teacher are simply just obvious. More work than pay i.e. low net salary, stress, strict rules, you got to have a lot of patience with students especially noisy ones, and spend a lot of time preparing topics for the next day’s work.

Teaching may look easy at first but once you learn more about it, it can be like hell-fire. First of all, and the most important is your monthly salary. I don’t like when you do all that hard work of teaching, teachers have to take out like say a 1/4 of their monthly salary to pay their taxes. I mean, you’re educating our younger generation but the teachers need a respectable salary, one that shows their position.

Secondly, the stress, the children and work put on the teacher. These stress occur due to preparation for the next day’s work and test papers to be marked. Another source of stress may come from children who do not cooperate with the teacher. The alternative solution a teacher does is scold them or put them out the class. In private schools, it is illegal to do that because you can lose your job.

Thirdly, is the patience you need to have in order to work with inconsiderate students. You have or have this to be a successful teacher, like me I don’t have any patience at all.

So what I am saying here is that I do not want to become a teacher because of the reasons I listed above.

I would not become a teacher because of the following reasons.

I would not become a teacher because of the mental fatigue involve in the profession. Today’s children are rude to there teachers, abusive even. In most classrooms today children think that because of wealth or a small amount of years separating them from their teachers, gave them the right to use indecent language. In some cases children even physically abusive to there teacher hiting them with pieces of wood or punching or kicking them. It is also mentally fatiguing because of the marking of tests papers from children of different levels of the school. Preparing the different topics to teach on and explaining it as well. Also the preparation of the mark book and calculating the test scores to put inside.

If you are a married teacher it would be even more stress because of the carrying home of work to do. This would be frustrating because if you are a father when you come home from teaching and have to finish off the work of marking test results or otherwise. You would have to neglect the needs of your children whom may want to spend time with you also your wife who would want you to fulfill your role as a husband. Another problem with the teaching profession is the salary it is too small for someone who would have to use it for his needs and also the needs of his family. In order for you to have a bigger salary offered to you. You would have to be a train teacher or from the Cyril Potter college of Education or a degree from the University of Guyana or otherwise.

It is because of these reasons why I would choose not to become a teacher.

There are many reasons why I would not become a teacher. First of all I don’t like to shout at anyone and I don’t like to hear a lot of noise. In this job you would have to shout a lot and sometimes you may even have to put some lashes on some trouble some child.

Secondly there would be a lot of assignments for me to mark and I would have to stay up late at nights preparing tests and exams. It would be very stressful and I don’t like anyone or anything keeping me from sleeping at nights.

On weekends, I would usually go by some friends or by a movie theatre but when I have started to teach I would have to prepare SBAs of students and I would not have any leasure time. I would even have time for my younger brother nor sister.

Then sometimes I wake up very cranky in the morning and the last thing I would like is a group of students keeping a set of noise. I don’t have any patience with anyone and I may just get more cranky and start a war in the school compound. I may even end up in prison.

Most important of all is the wags teachers receive at the end of the month. It does not even cover the light bill much less food, water, telephone and taxes. Teachers would have to nibble at their money in order to survive and I certainly would not want to be like that, and with all the shouting and screeming I would have to hear during the day my blood pressure might just fly straight up and send me to my grave, so that is why I would not like to become a teacher.

A teacher is a person who teaches students in schools or even universities and other places. I choose not to become a teacher because I do not like teaching people. I find myself not making the persons to understand perfectly what I meant. The reason for that I think is that I cannot explain clearly, so that the persons who I teach would not understand. I tried teaching my siblings often by helping them with their homework. I find some of the things they did understand but sometimes while teaching them I gets mixed up so imagine what would happen to them.

Being a teacher is not that easy, I think, because they would have to do a lot of work for instance they would be responsible for the children not understanding. They would have to prepare schemes, mark test papers, find the simplest way to explain to their students etc. I would prefer to be a student. It’s a lot of work too but I think being a student you would learn more and I love knowing and learning a lot of things. Being a teacher you would learn more too but in the form of reading and prefer someone explaining to me.

Instead of being a teacher, I prefer to work, as an accountant so I would not have to teach people I would have to work with people or by myself.

Maybe later in my life I would be convinced by someone to become a teacher or maybe I would decided by myself by trying very hard to explain perfectly to people. If I may decide to become a teacher that would not satisfy my desire in life so if I become a teacher I would have another job alongside being a teacher.

There are many reasons why I would not become a teacher. The first reason of not wanting to become a teacher when I get older is because I don’t want to become a teacher, instead I want to become a doctor. Another reason is because I don’t like teaching and dealing with children especially if they are hard hearing and mischievous. If I become a teacher I will have to deal with children who are rude, hard hearing, noisy, hard to learn and children who do not like doing the homework or assignments.

Another reason of not wanting to become a teacher is because of not wanting to have to mark a lot of assignments, test papers and homework especially if it’s scrappy, untidy, mixed up and hard to understand. Marking assignments and test papers like those, can be very difficult especially when I have to make many corrections. Some assignments or homework may be very long and sometimes boring. Marking assignments, test papers or homework can also prevent me from having a good sleep.

Other reason for not wanting to become a teacher is having too many other responsibilities in the staff and with the children. Some of the responsibilities may include organising things such as food sales, sports, competitions (drama) and maybe school parties. Responsibilities in the staff may include mostly paper work. And sometimes I may have to et certain things done for a certain time and that can be very stressful especially with having the other responsibilities to deal with.

I may also have to wake up very early if I have an early class to attend to. All of these responsibilities can cause you to very stressed out and my also cause me to go get very fretful, so these are some of the reasons why I would not want to become a teacher when I get older.

I would not become a teacher because it is not in line with my goal. Ever since I was in primary school I dreamt of becoming a doctor, more becoming because I love helping people, taking care of them, and in a small amount making them feel safe, I also like seeing people smiling and children laughing.

I do not think that I would be the perfect teacher, because of my experience that comes from teaching children at Bible Club. I teach tem but find it hard to be serious or strict with them. They do not hear to my every command or understand when I am serious, perhaps this may be because I focus on keeping them laughing and talking about themselves and their feeling while giving them advice.

In my family there is perhaps rooted in our blood to be businessmen and women, doctors and lawyers, shopkeepers and pastors or domestic cleaners, housewives and mothers. I cannot say why or even understand why but I feel that in order to be a teacher you have to be strict and stern, giving the students an idea of some strange animal because of the way you seem to misunderstand their intentions, attitudes and behaviour and seem to bite out at them sometimes for no particular reason or even when you are given a position higher than just teachers, you seem to lose yourself, giving all sorts of foolish commands and stupid advice, imitating parents and causing dislike for yourself among the students.

This may seem a very rash account but this is what I have experienced as well as most of my colleagues. I don’t know if this is intentional or an unconscious reaction but having children dislike me is not one of my strong points because I love children way too much it seems like a horrible dream. Where I live is surrounded by family and friends of all ages who I adore and love but the variety are mostly of children under my age (14).

I find it hard to think about becoming a teacher rather than a doctor. The similarities and differences are there to be examined. My love for children has beaten the strict and sometimes harsh realities of a teacher. Not all teachers are the same. I have my favourites who seem to understand child psychology and the needs and wants of children.

The reason why I would not become a teacher is moreso because of one reason. This reason is patience. I am a person that tends to get impatient very quickly and if I were to become a teacher, I won’t be a successful one. When I get impatient, I tend to get angry and when I get angry, I will take it out on anyone and everyone that annoys me. I also get impatient if I am trying to teach someone something and instead of that person trying to learn what I am teaching them, they just be obedient. If I ask that child or person to do a sum that I was teaching them to do and they can’t do it, it gets me really impatient and angry. Another reason is that I am outspoken. If I see someone doing something that I don’t like or something that he/she is not suppose to do, I will give them a warning and if he/she continues to do that thing, I will tell him/her as I want to and in the process embarrass him/her. Another reason is that I don’t have the ability to explain a word, or statement, etc. in depth as a teacher does. Although I might know what it means, I won’t be able to express myself withal of the students waiting to hear what I am going say. Another reason is because I hate writing on blackboards and don’t like to be in a place where pieces of paper, chewing gum etc. and lunch litters and on the ground and rubbish bins are overflowing. Another small reason is because I don’t write big and neat on the blackboard and when I am writing in a book, page etc. I make sure my work is neat. These are four reasons why I would not like to become a teacher.

To become a teacher is a very difficult process and to stay a teacher is an even harder process. a persons must go through a long line of training to become a teacher, they must go through tests to see how well they can deal with students and stress. For a teacher’s job is a very stressful one indeed. It also depends on which type of class the teacher is going to be teaching and at what level.

For example, if I were to teach primary one classes, then I’m sure I would have to use corporal punishment on some of those students. For it is quite evident today that children are being given too much freedom and as a result, a lack of respect to authority has endued itself on the children. it is the same thing with older students as well. If I was to teach fourth form, then my greatest task would be stay a teacher as long as I can. For you see, the students are less respectful than they were before. And the new technology is no help either.

For example, some students may want to bring cell phones, portable radios etc. to class. And if I were to seize them, then I’m sure a war would start between the teacher, students and possibly parents. So now more than ever it is extremely hard to be a teacher. Only persons with that strong will, mind control and exceptionally strong patience should try to attain this job. I would never become a teacher because of all these perilous confrontations on may have to make. If, however, I had no choice but to become a teacher, then I would want to teach first form, where the work is a little easier and the children perhaps in a new school feel the need to be on their best behaviour. This would perhaps be the best time to teach. And also I would not become a teacher for the pay is much too low for all their hard work and efforts.

Teachers are persons who teach at schools. They preach, discipline, direct and advise.

I would not become a teacher. I would not become a teacher because I don’t have patience. Teaching needs a lot of patience whether it is nursery, primary, secondary or the university level. Patience all deals with the time of explaining what you teach, enough times so that everyone understands will. I have little patience, in that I expect everyone to understand when I explain one or two times which I know is not enough in some levels. Teaching will take me away from my everyday activities because I will have to make sure everything is being taught at a specific time, which is stress to me, because they may be an incident that will take away the time to teach at a certain day. I don’t like teaching because the point of writing on the blackboard makes me sick. I don’t like writing on the board because students might be too slow and I will have to wait on them to continue the process. I am a person when I get stressed out and lose my patience, I begin to start shouting. I wouldn’t want to shout on any child because I know how it feels to be humiliated and shouted upon. I think when addressing students teachers should be very pleasant, make the students feel like if their someone too because children also has feeling. I don’t want to teach because I don’t want some children to treat me like how some teacher treat them like “no one.”

I am not saying teaching is not good because teachers are the persons who mould the nation. I am also not saying, I don’t like the company of children. I am saying I, personally don’t like teaching because it stressful, I don’t have patience and also I would not be paid the money which I deserved because of all my hard work, I deserve good money. I would not become a teacher because I don’t like teaching.

I would not become a teacher because you have to get the experience of teaching students. This ca not always be good because students might make your teaching experience difficult. Most teachers do not know how to handle students in teaching processes. I think this would definitely be a serious problem for me. Students might want to do idle work and make continuous noise. I as a teacher might not get full attention from them. Students might want to give backchat. When this happens I probably would want to punish them. Students might dislike me if I do not have good manner, teaching skills and proper language use. I would always have to remember these things because students can observe me more quickly.

I think students are too curious. Another problem might be patience. If you do not have patience you definitely cannot teach someone. You have to be ready for questions that you might not expect. I will have to give an appropriate answer. Students might not like you if you scold them and I do not want any one to hate me. This will depend on what the student did. I think being a teacher is like taking challenges. You have to be able to handle certain problems. You have be able to teacher the subjects well and teach only that, well you will teacher other things like manners and so on. Another thing is time. You have to be able to teach your subject topics on time. I might get frustrated or a nervous break down because if I have a lot of classes to teach I might forget my topics. I know basically most of these principles will apply to any job you are doing but I just do not like teaching especially in high schools.
