[quote=Anonymous]If you are choosing teaching as a new/second career, the dynamics of your family will change, especially for your spouse (I am the spouse). The first 3 years of teaching are super challenging for the both of you as it is literally 24x7. If your spouse isnt grading papers, planning for the next days work, communicating with parents, typing up lesson plans, going to meetings, attending professional development seminars/classes, etc etc, she will be talking about it. Many have regrets because those first few years are difficult. In addition, the non-teaching spouse has to pick up many of the household/family responsibilities that the other spouse used to handle. On the positive side, the pay is ok, the benefits are good and she only works 10-month and her vacations coincide with the kids..... [/quote]
