Many people will argue that if you do not enjoy subjects at school, you will not learn in them. This can be true because a child may switch off in their lessons, and by losing interest they may come away having taken nothing in.

Then again if children are having too much fun, they may not be focusing on the subject itself. Some activities in primary education can be fun, and they should be to try and get the pupils involved, but it is possible to have too much fun, and this can ultimately distract a child’s attention from the subject in mind.

That’s why it is important to find the right balance, and if you are able to create engaging and interesting lessons that will get students involved without diverting their attention from the topic in mind, then you will be a successful teacher in primary education.
