[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach elementary and am seriously burned out by the long hours. I want to pick up another endorsement for something less time consuming. It can be an elementary specialty such as reading specialist, esol, etc.  or even teaching secondary as a general ed teacher (unlike most elementary teachers, I'm not scared of working with teens.). Which area of teaching would give me the greatest likelihood of working a 40 hour week. [/quote]

lol@ secondary ed

Do you really think it's easier than ES?  Teens aside, the pressure to pass the kids and make sure they meet state requirements is exhausting.  40-hour week

OP, how long have you been in the profession?  The only career in ed that's 40 hours or less (and I mean less) is being a PE teacher.  They can walk around in sweats all day long and planning is minimal.  Plus, many earn extra bucks for coaching.  [/quote]

There is just as much pressure to pass kids and make sure they do well on the SOLs in Elementary as there is in secondary. [/quote]
