Five Difficult Things About Teaching: My Reflection as a Teacher

Teaching is one of the most rewarding professions in that it gives you an opportunity to make an impact on a future generation. It is also extremely difficult and draining—no one with actual teaching experience would tell you otherwise. Being a teacher takes patience, dedication, passion, and the ability to do more with less. It is a treacherous journey often filled with just as many valleys as there are mountains. Those committed to the profession do so simply because they want to be difference makers. According to me, the following five factors are some broader issues that make teaching challenging a little hard

Classroom management:

This is the most difficult thing in teaching. When we teach them much autonomy and freedom, there are many students who constantly try to take advantage of the situation, having a trivial conversation during important instructions.

Change a student’s behavior:

The hardest thing is to take the student from where they are and to move them where they should be .to do this a good teacher must change their behavior as adaptive as possible mentally, socially, emotionally, and intellectually as they have the potential to be.

Being a teacher is hard. But being a teacher and a friend is even harder:

Sometimes being, so easygoing is not right for a teacher to have to maintain dignity she or he has to be a teacher and at the same time a friend also.

Not getting enough time:

It seems that it is work of 8 to 3 but in reality, after coming from school again we have to prepare for the next day's activities, entering grades, making a lesson plan. Period after period makes things worse.

The different learning abilities of children:

Every student is different in personality, behavior, etc. Some struggle with maths and need extra help or some learn really well when they listen to the topics understand subjects. Hence, it is hard to cope up.
