9 Reasons Teaching Is More Difficult Than You Think

Lack of Resources

School funding impacts students learning in several areas. Underfunded schools have overcrowded classrooms and outdated technology and textbooks. They are understaffed with many administrators and teachers taking on dual roles to save money. Programs that may benefit students, but are not required are the first to be cut. Students lose out on opportunities when schools are underfunded. Teachers must become adept at doing more with less. Most teachers unselfishly spend hundreds of dollars out of their own pockets to purchase supplies and materials for their classrooms. A teacher’s effectiveness cannot help but be limited when they are not afforded the necessary resources to do their job effectively.
