TEACHING AS A PROFESSION
After graduating from college
each year many men and womer
go into the teaching profession
Some of the questions regarding
this career are: What are the
rewards teaching holds? What is
a teachers job?
First Of all, a teacher must
stimulate thinking. He helps the
student to classify many ideas
he already has. A teacher also
must question a pupils ideas.
Teaching, in this sense, seeks
to establish in pupils the habit
of revising their opinions In the
light of what they find out.
The teaching profession has
many rewards that cannot be
measured in money. A teacher
can be sure that he is perform
ing an important public service.
The community and the nation
are aware of this great pro-
fession. A teacher reaps rewards
because he is willing to help
others.
There are more than four hun
dred institutions for training
teachers. Most teaching jobs call
for at least four years of prepara-
tion. Upon graduation, 1t is almost
always certain that there will be
a job awaiting the teacher.
