What does a teacher do all day?

I am a substitute teacher right now for my job.  So I have an inside view on what a teacher goes through each day, in my own way.  There is a lot more to it than people might realize.  I have my day planned out, but for a teacher they have to come up with things to teach for the entire week and year.  I have had many times where we have extra time, so I have to come up with my own things to fill up the time.  It can be very difficult to think of entertaining things for 25 first graders on the spot.  I know for a fact that teachers are constantly planning things for their students.

The days are busy and there is always a child needing the teachers help with their assignment.  The best ways of teaching that I have seen, is keeping the students in a routine schedule everyday.  They are able to stay on task and understand the things they are doing better.  Teachers are constantly teaching.  I think a lot of people don't give them enough credit for how much learning goes on in one day at a school.  If teachers did not put any effort into their lessons there would be no point to school.  I have a lot of respect for teachers and see how busy their days are of constantly teaching and planning for the week.
