I am a teacher/coach. Been in the profession for 10 years. Can it be tough? yes. Hardest in world? Hell No.
I will say this. every teaching situation is drastically different. I've been in public, private, catholic, and very very exclusive academic schools. They are all different in the requirements of the job. All the kids are about the same, for everyone 1 you have that cares you got a 1 thats a pain in the arse. For the most part if you are organized and can handle the classroom management its not a bad job.
We do work more than many think. Do you get summer off? yes but once you are around kids that long you need that time off, so do they. But you don't have normal vacation either. You can't just miss 4 days 1 week in September to go on a vacation. Some teachers come in at 730 and leave by 3. Others stay much later. Its different eveywhere. As a coach we catch the flack for not teaching as much but we are essentially always at school. I get 3 weeks off in July other than that we are there through the other holidays except Xmas because i don't coach basketball (those guys have zero holidays). As coaches we don't complain because its what you signed up for, its part of the job. That being said if you are a teacher move over to Texas. Its much better

This is why you’re not taken seriously as a group. You’re a teacher bitching about...... teaching. Parents have been a pain in the arse to teachers for 30 years now. You went to college, got certified and I’m guessing have been teaching for a few years. It’s your job to lesson plan, grade papers, deal with parents, etc, buy y’all act like you’re all cut from some special forces teacher mold that only a few people can handle. Truth is it’s a pretty easy profession to get into.

You just listed your daily schedule an dared someone to work it as if you’re fighting wildfires. Tomorrow I have to tell two people they have maybe 6 months to live due to cancer. Can we trade?

I agree with Pecker. This is my only contribution to this thread.

Teachers are so far removed from reality they think that if they post their daily schedule we’ll all recoil from the shock of the workload.

I know many teachers. They never seemed stressed and are mostly all lazy fricks who wanted summers off. I know a professor at LSU who has no work experience but teachers kids how to do stuff once they graduate. So it’s true that if you can’t do, you teach.

No, you’ve taught high school kids a bunch of sciences. The Vet school, med school, pharmacy school and engineering programs taught those people.

As an engineer, I don’t attribute anything I learned about engineering to my high school teachers. You’re not living in reality.

I could do it. Would be nice to only work half a day for half the year.
