One of the the disadvantages of teaching is the stress it puts on the teachers. Teachers feel responsible for the progress their students are making. Joe Brooks, in his article "Don't Get Teacher Amnesia," calls this teacher Amnesia (Brooks para. 2). Being a teacher can be very stressful and teachers become very hard on themselves. The article explains how it almost seems like teaching causes someone to age faster than the average person (Brooks para. 2). Teachers tough task of teaching young kids, is difficult to put on one person.
Teaching can also keep someone very young at heart (Brooks para. 2). Being around young people all the time, helps people stay in touch with their young side. Teachers have to stay in touch with their young side in order be a successful teacher. A good teacher knows what their students are thinking and what they want. With out thinking like a student they would not be able to get through to their students and would never be a good teacher.
