Should you be a teacher? | Pros and cons of teaching

[@tc-tm1my]

I want to get my certification but the number of teachers leaving worry me

The fact that you had pink eye during this video exactly sums up a crucial part of my teaching experience. I am ALWAYS GETTING SICK. Schools will often stress perfect attendance and students are coming in sick, therefore not only putting the other students in the class at risk, but also the teacher. (Also, students come in with stomach bugs A LOT, the amount of times a student has thrown up in my classroom over the years is honestly unfortunate).

Hi I am new to your channel and am currently in college doing an early years course and want to progress to become a teacher and find your videos really informative.

I always loved the idea of been a teacher and I was debating last year to actually go for it and leave been a childminder, but if I’m honest I’m so pleased I have stuck to been a childminder. Good pay, own hours, own boss etc xx

I've never heard of this job. Interested in learning more.

I’ve been a teacher for 13 years. Sadly, this will be my last year as I’ve just had enough. It’s scary changing careers, and I feel very sad that the state of education has got to this point. I thought I’d be a teacher forever. There are some pros, but at the minute I just couldn’t recommend being a teacher. It’s such a shame.

[@hgardz]

Why don't you recommend it?

[@gretacarleen]

@@hgardz too many reasons to mention! The main thing for me was feeling like I was failing the pupils that needed the most support as SEN funding/resources have depleted. But now I’ve worked outside of a school for a while I also can’t believe how long I worked in a profession with such long working hours and no flexibility.

Acá en Panamá, la jubilación docente continúa al 60 porciento y nosotros fuimos a la Universidad por más de siete años. En Panamá, no se pagan los grados académicos y a los administrativos no le incluyen los cargos en su cheque. Solamente a los administrativos se les dice que están al 100 porciento de su jubilación..

I heard that teaching vacancies have increased but for secondary it's only in some subjects, e.g. stem have loads of opportunities but english and arts don't :(

[@worldcandyclub7234]

Is cover supervisor a role which could be utilised as a stepping stone into teaching? Or QTS

[@AddOneMathTutor]

I'm watching this in the U.S. and was caught off guard by the salary as a pro because here it is not.

[@Stettafire]

No. Next question 🤣

[@marcmeinzer8859]

There no longer are any advantages to being a teacher. So don’t waste you time on this crappy lower level civil service or church employee job.
