[quote=Anonymous]Ex-teacher here. For those of you who think teaching is a good profession when you have kids - it's not. I know plenty of teachers who have quit now that they have families. There is NO flexibility. You can't go to drs appointments during the day. You can't (easily) take a day off when your kid is sick. You can't be late to work. Your work does not end when the kids leave. If/when your kids are not at your school, you'll need childcare to pick them up (which you probably won't be able to afford). I loved the profession, but I don't see it as a particularly family friendly one. I work part-time as a consultant in a science-related field now - much more family friendly and much better paid. Saying that, I think my 10 years teaching were pretty good. Just not easy.[/quote]
