I am a teacher cum warden and have been teaching children upto class five. Also I was incharge of the hostel where these small children were residing. I quite enjoyed my work though it was tiresome at times.
My advice in this regard would be ,join this line only if you love children and have tolerance enough to forgive and forget.I will remember my career for some beautiful words and cards that the children give me off and on. Their words are so sincere that they touch your heart.I am now getting old,and as I love varied experiences I would like a change of profession now,if possible.It is rewarding to see the respect children give you ,and more so, when you meet them after they are grown up and they come running to you and wishing you, reminding you as to who they are. This has happened several times and in the market,or on the station I come across a young lady who was once a student with me and is so full of me that I feel overwhelmed.
However ,in our country they do not pay the teachers well and that is why I have no roof over my head though I am about to retire.So make sure you earn enpugh in the profession you join.
In the end I will only say that a noble profession it is but in today,s mechanical world it is more important to look at the package you get.

Being an elementary school teacher is not for the faint of heart, especially with the No Child Left Behind Act. If you have had experience teaching and realize that there would be nothing else that would make you happy as a career I would definitely recommend this career to others. If it is a career of last resort then there are other things that you could be going into that would be far more lucrative that this. One of the great things about working in this career is that you have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children of all walks of life. You are one that they will remember when they go out into the workforce. That can also be one of the cons if you are in this career for the wrong reasons. Other unfortunate things about this career include the lack of time you have in teaching everything that is required by law for you to teach them, and end of year testing mandated by the federal government is less than appealing. There is so much that every student is required to know by the end of each year, and mandate which were meant to help students are counter productive, as they take anywhere from 3 weeks to a month to administer. Therefore your lessons for the month get put on the back burner, while you spend time prepping them for and administering the test to them. If you are up to meeting the challenges that teachers face then this is definitely a great choice, otherwise I suggest finding another career that will make you happy.
