Have you ever wondered what a teacher does? You may not like going to school but your teacher is there for a reason. Teachers show children how to read, write, use math and more. Teachers also show study skills and how to use them. Also when you don’t understand a lesson, teachers are there to help. When teachers see children learn, they are as happy as can be. One of the best parts about being a teacher is that they learn different cultures because kids in their class maybe from different places. I think being a teacher is an exciting job!

For college, the type of degree you might get is a masters degree. You must have a college degree to be a teacher but in some states you absolutely need a master’s degree so if you live in a state that does need one, well, you’ll be in college for quite a while.
