[quote=Anonymous]I taught for 5 years and it was the most difficult, grueling, exhausting job I've ever had. I put in average weeks of 55 hours, and some closer to 75. I was not abnormal in my school. I left teaching because it was impossible to have a personal life or a family and also teach, and I would never ever go back. Aside from being difficult, it was also demeaning and emotionally draining. However, the pay and benefits were fantastic. Especially the benefits. Now I'm a parent, and I don't know if it's just my school, but I don't see anyone putting in those kinds of hours. The parking lot at my school was still half full at 4pm, and a handful of cars were there still at 9pm. Not so at my kid's school. No chance of finding any teachers there more than 15 minutes after dismissal. Maybe because I was in a low-income school and this is not one, I don't know. [/quote]
