How hard is it to become an Elementary school teacher?

I've heard horror stories about people who are in college to become teachers. I've heard that often times they have a heavier work load than nursing students. I'm just wondering if this is true.

Hello Minaya, I am here to debunk the rumour that being a teacher comes with horror stories, especially when teaching elementary schools. I myself have been a teacher to young children for a few years now and let me be honest at first it wasn't easy, but as the years grew by I began to understand that every child is special in their own way and all they need is to be seen and heard. Even the most difficult of children just need a little patience and attention, not being yelling at. With that , handling children between the age of 5 to 13 isn't much of a horror story. I hope this is helpful.

From my experience, while the first few years can be demanding, remember, teaching is a growth profession. Try to approach these years as a time to learn, connect theory to practice, and build your own system. Always seek out or welcome mentorship and coaching - they'll be invaluable assets in navigating these formative years.

The most important aspect of teaching is loving the students and knowing you have great impact in their lives. Teaching is as much a vocation as it is a career.

With dedication and support, you'll be well on your way to a fulfilling and successful career!
