While researching for this blog entry I was having trouble finding a website that had reasons that I have not seen before. When I came upon the website listed below, I was thrilled to see some fresh ideas. Why do so many people want to become teachers? People who love challenges might find teaching to be a good job. Not every student will learn easily and I know there are some people who find it very hard to give up on something. If these people came across a student that had trouble learning, I know that they would not stop helping these kids until they understood. The success from the students understanding something is another reason people teach. I know that when I see that I have helped a student figure something out and they are so happy about it, that makes me happy. Teaching a certain subject also is an incentive for people to teach because teaching something is the best way to learn it and for people interested in learning a lot, this would be the way to do it.
One thing I have never heard before and was kind of surprised by was that people teach to stay younger. I assumed that teaching would wear you down faster but I guess some people think that if you are surrounded by youth, you in turn will stay young, or at least feel young. Being a teacher also lets you be creative in many different ways. The final reason why someone might teach is that is matches your family life. If you teach, it matches your families schedule, so vacations and holidays can be more easily planned. In this article there were also some answers that I have seen before like having a fun time with children, having an influence on someone's future, job security, and having summers off. I think that there are many good reasons to become a teacher and as long as it does not negatively affect the students than, bring on the teachers, we need them!
