Teaching is one of the most difficult but also most rewarding job ✨ I’ve found myself complaining a lot recently and really dreading going back after half-term. Yes, it’s natural, everyone feels nervous but it feels like there’s Sunday scaries every night 😭 However, everytime I’m back in school, I realise I enjoy it and there’s so much to be proud of and so much positivity to focus on. Working with kids, forming positive relationships, that feeling when the class finally understands something, actively feeling like you’re making a difference. I know that with teaching most teachers are complaining about the expectations and workload, not the students. In fact, teaching is the best part of the job. It’s just the in between and constant checks that can sometimes make you feel judged or like you’re doing everything wrong. I don’t want to look back at my time and regret that I didn’t enjoy the moment as much, so I’m going to make it my mission to celebrate a positive teaching moment every day. I’m still gonna rant at points or talk if something is challenging but aim to not make it the focus of my whole journey as a teacher 😇 Hope everyone has had a great half-term, good luck for teaching tomorrow! And for those who’ve just started half-term hope you have a great one :) #secondaryschool #teacher #ukteachers #secondaryschoolteacher #halfterm #teacherproblems #teacherlife #traineeteacher #reflections #teachermemories #focusonthepositive #prosofbeingateacher #beingateacher #teachersoftiktok #prosandconsofteaching
