Summary/Abstract: The teacher's work is determined by a complex system of expectations and direct tasks out of which other related, continuous or occasional activities arise. Some of them are clearly visible and frequent, or more familiar to the wider environment, whereas others occur in specific situations in the educational process, they are not so well known, and they often require an additional burden on an individual or a group. The teacher's work differs, it is adapted to the program aspects, the age of students, and other factors that directly or indirectly determine the mandatory, legally prescribed, or otherwise unwrittten but expected actions in the light of what is usually perceived as the teacher's work. The factors that affect the teacher's role and professional behavior come from a wider socio-cultural environment in which a teacher lives and accomplishes his professional role, such as educational and cultural traditions, the educational structure of the population, the current social, economic and political situation. In this paper, the focus is put on the circumstances that determine teachers' work and the factors that have a daily effect on the teacher and the overall school system, and 490furthermore we want to point out the present beliefs that it is a relatively easy job, with short working hours and many benefits. The lack of information, the lack of interest, the avoidance of having an objective approach and analysis, or sometimes the misinterpretation of the teacher's role and importance in the society can lead to prejudices that may in return cause harm to all those who are included in the educational process.
