19. What was the most frustrating thing that happened to you as a teacher?
How to Answer
Answer this truthfully, but be aware to not create a negative vibe in the interview. Telling a story and getting upset about it would be unprofessional. Remain positive and talk about how it helped you grow as a person and in your career.

Answer Example
"One of the things I find frustrating as a teacher is when I am making amazing strides with a student, but I recognize that their parents are not giving them the one-on-one time at home in order to keep the momentum going. I have learned that I cannot control what happens with students outside of the school. So, I have tasked myself with creating such a natural passion for reading in each student that they cannot help but want to continue to grow in their reading journey."
