As I walked through the corridors of my school and looked at the teachers I always thought about how a teacher's life really is. So when I had the idea to interview three teachers that have had an impact in my school life. In this article I will be talking about the life of a teacher.
I first interviewed my English teacher I have had for the last 2 years and I asked her if she ever regretted her decision and she said she would not ever regret her decision because she is doing something that she has always wanted to do. I then asked her would her teenage self ever imagine that she was in this position her reply was my teenage self would not imagine myself where i am right now as when she qualified into the primary school sector because she always knew that she wanted to be a teacher just in the secondary sector where she could teacher in the way she know she will be able to. I asked her what advice would you give to a person who is considering a career in teaching. Misses reply was you have to be resilient, be understanding and also within their power always be there for their students. After i spoke to miss i hard a more deeper understanding that some teachers that love what they do and always wanted to do it will do anything and everything for their students
The next person i interview was my year 9 design and technology teacher and his answers were completely different when i asked him if he ever regretted his decision his reply was no but then when we asked him how does it feel to teach in this society his reply was that i don't mind working with the kids but i don't like how we are overworked and underpaid when we finally asked him what advice would u give some considering a career in teaching i got the answer of don't do it unless you want to do a job that you do so many hours for and dont get the right pay you deserve
I finally asked my citizenship teacher her views when i asked her why did she become a teacher she said to me i wanted to make a positive impact on children who grow up like i did with a single parent household and on the opposite end of the money scale so i can show them that you don't need money to do what you want and what makes you happy. When i asked her what advice would u give some considering a career in teaching i got the answer of don't the pay is horrible the children are horrible and you will never actually get a proper break
After i heard all these interviews i thought to myself that teachers really don't get enough credit for what they do but also put up with and that is why sometimes we really need to thank our teachers for what they do because without them we would know anything about life, reading, writing money or anything
