[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think math teachers are probably the easiest teaching jobs.

The curriculum is the same every year and you just go through the book

Most people don't even grade homework anymore and I would give tests on scantrons (don't even know if they exist)

The toughest job would be elementary school.  5+ hours of new content everyday.

After 5 or so years it would get easier I guess and you could just do the same thing everyyear[/quote]

This is ridiculous.  No.

Curricula are changed, often significantly, every 5-7 years minimum, in each course.  Nearly all better publics offer differentiated instruction, so you actually have to have at least two modified curricula available.  Graded assignments are constant and Admins, parents, and students expect at least weekly updates to e-grade reporting systems (more often in HS, especially for juniors and seniors who are processing college applications).  A teacher isn't by any means allowed to simply administer multiple-choice scan-grade tests, even in math - and in some courses, multiple-choice is only permissible as a testing component and not as a primary testing component.  Every teacher is expected to be available for students and for parents on regular hours before -and- after school, and in HS must post their availability.

Come on.
