1. Teaching a Subject Helps You Learn a Subject
You will never learn a topic better than when you start teaching it and the student questions just made you dig deeper and learn more. There is an old adage that it takes three years of teaching to truly master a subject and in my experience this is the truth.
2. Daily Humor
If you have a positive attitude and a sense of humor, you will find things to laugh about each day. Sometimes it will be silly jokes you will make up as you teach that might get a laugh from your students. Sometimes it will be jokes that kids share with you. And sometimes students will come out with the funniest statements without realizing what they've said. Find the fun and enjoy it!
3. Affecting the Future
Yes it might be trite, but it is true. Teachers mold the future each day in class. In fact, it is a sad fact that you will see some of these students more consistently day-to-day than their parents will.
4. Staying Younger
Being around young people everyday will help you remain knowledgeable about current trends and ideas. It also helps break down barriers.
5. Summers Off
You will have a couple of months off in the summer where you can choose to get another job, teach summer school, or just relax and vacation, which can really be a huge benefit and provide much needed rest time, and obviously to share with your children because they have the same holidays as you.
