9 Reasons Teaching Is More Difficult Than You Think

Individuality of Students

Every student is different. They have their own unique personalities, interests, abilities, and needs. Gauging these differences can be extremely difficult. In the past, teachers have taught to the middle of their class. This practice did a disservice to those students with higher and lower abilities. Most teachers now find a way to differentiate and accommodate every student according to their own individual needs. Doing so benefits the students, but it comes at a price for the teacher. It is a difficult and time-consuming task. Teachers must be adept at utilizing data and observations, finding the appropriate resources, and meeting every student where they are.
