00:00I think today, I mean, especially, for example, I think over the age of 10,

00:07I think it's very difficult to be a teacher,

00:09as children are so mature these days that they get to 10, 11, 12

00:14and they think they're already 18 and they misbehave at school a great deal.

00:19I have some friends who are teachers and they say it's almost not worth going to work.

00:23Yeah, I believe they deserve it.

00:26They work so, so much and they don't have that much of a break

00:31and they don't get paid that well.

00:33How much it's not hurting the students' interaction with the teachers,

00:38that should be kept in mind.

00:40I think they're overworked.

00:42I think especially how the children have been since the pandemic

00:47because it was a real crisis for them, you know, having to work from home,

00:51not having friendships, being friends, going out with their friends.

00:56I think the teachers earn every cent they get.
