18 Teachers Share What They Wish They Knew Before They Started Teaching

There are quite a few steps you need to take before you become a teacher.

To become an elementary school teacher in a public school, for example, you not only need to hold a bachelor's degree, but you also need to prove you have the skills necessary to teach elementary education and have a certain number of hours of supervised educational experience under your belt.

All this job training can only take you so far, however, and inevitably you enter the teaching world not entirely prepared for what's ahead.

To help prevent aspiring teachers from getting caught by surprise, we asked teachers everywhere what's one thing they wish they knew before becoming a teacher, and more than 50 teachers responded.
