Abstract

For a long time, teaching was considered one of the most dignified professions in society. Teachers are the ones who influence, develop and provide the structure for the future generations. Nevertheless, a question arises: why do a good number of so-called "genius" people, who are mostly intelligent and creative, shy away from teaching? The answer to this question is that the reason for this is not a lack of respect for education, rather, these are the challenges that the teaching profession brings about socially, systemically, and personally.
