At first I thought the most important role as a teacher would be to manage the classroom and deal with the kids. As I have done my fieldwork and observations, I have noticed it is managing the classroom but it is also managing everything else. Teachers have a lot to deal with! Not only the students, teaching, and grading; they also have their personal home lives, the secretaries needing things, other teachers needing testing to be done, students going in and out of the classroom to various places! It was extremely overwhelming! How do they do it ALL!?? I loved watching what all these teachers do on a daily basis. It was a real eye opener on what a teacher is and what they actually do.
Therefore, I think the most challenging thing for a teacher to deal with is balancing everything. The teacher I was observing was telling me how much grading, lesson planning, and other school-related work she was having to do at home. Yet, at the end of the day, she loves the students and everything that comes along with it!
