[quote=Anonymous]The lack of flexibility for days off is the worst thing about being a teacher. I have to save any work on my home for the summer (no spouse to take leave) and while sick leave is yours to take, my school culture frowns upon taking too many days too close to each other. And some days, trying to take leave is impossible due to teaching a lesson I can't trust with a sub, or a required meeting, etc. If you have a spouse who can share this burden, it is a lot easier. That said, the insurance is great and if you actually enjoy teaching, it is a fun and fulfilling job. I had a private-sector job I left 15 years ago for teaching. While my financial future would have a better outlook if I had stayed there, I do not regret my choice because I love my students and feel my work is important.[/quote]
