Teachers focus on making the lives of others better through education and knowledge gained from the class. Most teachers working in public schools experience different kinds of frustrations in the workplace. Teaching can be difficult and requires a teacher to have a passion to handle the day-to-day reality of the profession. In teaching, intrinsic rewards that are intangible are more than tangible extrinsic rewards. Teaching is crucial in the social and economic development of a nation.
