My mother was once a teacher when I was growing up. Dealing with kids is so much difficult than digging up a whole, also what used to make me hate her career was because I used to see her reading and writing things all the time and at the end of school term she is marking exams and all that. I hated teaching from then. What profession do you fear and why?

@kwenge My father was actually a headmaster and a minister of religion. My eldest sister taught for a while, then decided to start her own business. Teaching is not for me - I honestly don't have the patience.

Teaching is hard but it can also be very rewarding when you find that you have trasmitted something to your pupils.

I know it is rewarding, in fact I tried teaching kindergarten after high school

@marguicha yes, older ones is a lot easier because they can take instructions, but wait till they decide to rebel

Uh.... I didn't fear or dislike teaching. Only thing I detested was the gossiping staff members and to go to school even on holidays at times.

Oh! Staff can be mean sometimes, not only teaching staff, I love my sleep and going to work during holidays is a no way

Teaching may be hard but it is rewarding. Because a teacher can also be that one key point to many student's growth. Without teachers, we would learn nothing in this world.

I hate teaching too. I could technically be a teacher but I am avoiding it because it makes me anxious
