So now teachers have to teach all day, coach in the afternoons and head to graduate school at night. Teachers also have to deal with teenagers all day long. They face laziness, frustration, tardiness, disrespect and any other emotions our hormone-charged bodies throw at them. More and more, with less parental involvement, teachers also have to pick up the slack as parents. Teachers have harder, more complicated jobs than most people realize and they aren't receiving the money or respect that they deserve.
Teachers also have to deal with the emotional aspect of teaching.
Every August they start school with new faces and names to remember. They interact with the students everyday for a year. They form bonds with their students through teaching, talking, class jokes, etc. Then June rolls around and all the students leave, some never to return. In August the whole cycle starts anew.
