  Case: What part of being a teacher scares you?
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think you should be as truthful as possible with the interviewer. Don't say things like, "I'm afraid that I'll work too hard" and so on. Be honest. Say things like, "I'm afraid of not being able to help a student that truly needs it". Stress about real issues that you are afraid of happening to you in your classrooms, whether it's your students or even yourself.
