  Case: Stating the Inevitable
When I was interning, I ran across someone who had already graduated but was now applying for jobs. She went on an interview where the principal asked her, "Do teachers get burnt out?" I know that teaching can be stressful sometimes and burn out can happen and that you should be honest in interview. What is a good way to respond?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Be honest, as a principle I am sure he already know the struggles of a teacher but he wants to know your thoughts. Simply but it is a stressful job but it is truly worth it. The job wouldn't be worth it if it was no challenges you have to face and hard work you suffered from. Tell him all of the great moments that can't be forgetting as your experiences as a student teacher.

Comments: I agree that it is important to be honest in an interview. The interviewer isn't looking for a 'rose-colored' answer. Like you said, the principle is already aware of the challenges of being a teacher. What they want to hear is how you will overcome these challenges.
