[quote=Anonymous]It also depends on what you teach, your school, your experience, etc. It's particularly difficult being a first-year teacher. A teacher with 100+ students who teaches English or history or something like that has so many things to grade, let alone lesson planning and administrative duties, that they work well into the night and all weekend if they are doing it right. All I can say to a teacher in her first year is to survive, enjoy the happy moments, try to put off all the extra duties (if that's even an option), and cut yourself some slack. Every year gets less overwhelming. It's very, very difficult even if you are single and have no family responsibilities waiting for you at home. The type of schedule you have and the type of work you do is very different from office jobs. (It really would be nice to keep this a teacher thread as the OP was intending rather than an "OMG I work hard, too" thread, but that's probably too much to ask.) [/quote]
