9 Reasons Teaching Is More Difficult Than You Think

Time Is Limited

A teacher’s time is precious. As alluded to above, there is a difference between the time we spend with the students and the time we spend preparing for our students. Neither is sufficient. Teachers must maximize the time they have with their students. Every minute with them should matter. One of the hardest aspects of teaching is that you only have them for a short period of time to prepare them for the next level. You do the best you can when you have them, but in the scope of things, you have only a small amount to give them what they need. No teacher feels like they ever have enough time to accomplish everything that they needed or wanted to.
