[quote=Anonymous]OP, I hear you. I used to teach 1st grade in  DCPS school and I did not have kids and I left school every day thinking there is NO way I can do this with my own children. I had nothing left to give when I got home. My husband was frustrated with me because I was so drained. I eventually changed jobs (still in ed field) and it got better. I had more energy and was able to feel like a normal person after work. Then, I totally left education and have a job that is corporate that most would consider stressful. To me, it is cake. I have time to cook, clean, hang out with my family and feel normal when work is over.

When PPs say that teaching is easy, it can be, if you work in high income areas, or you are a lazy teacher. If you are lazy, you can make teaching the easiest job on earth.  My friends who taught in Fairfax and Montgomery were so much happier than my DCPS pals. And my lazy DCPS colleagues who basically taught using dittos from the 70s, were the happiest people on earth. (which I am NOT advocating).

Good luck, time management is the only way you are going to get some relief. [/quote]
