Story - Teachers
The career of teaching is an occupation that has both drawbacks and advantages. Some of the drawbacks like little money and early hours are evident, but there are also drawbacks that the average person is unaware of. The same can be said about the advantages.
Besides the financial woes of a teacher's salary, another drawback is the amount of time spent planning lessons and grading papers. These tasks are usually done outside of school hours due to the teacher's day being spent teaching students. Another drawback is the money the teacher has to spend on their own classroom or students. Due to budget cuts in many school systems, the teacher is forced to spend money out of her or his own pocket. Finally, teachers have to get used to larger and larger class sizes. Again, budget cuts also results in not being able to pay the salary of hiring another teacher. So, the extra students are placed into another classroom.
Even though there are disadvantages, there are also benefits to being a teacher. It seems that having the summers off is the best benefit, but there are others too. Most teachers get days off that their children get off. So, it is a good job to have if they have grade-level children of their own. Another benefit is that the teacher gets to teach a subject that is dear to their heart. Also, teachers get to spend their time doing something positive.
