[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys, teachers have the hardest job of all jobs.  Full stop.  No other job is harder or paid less.  It's ridiculous to pretend otherwise.  Teachers are the most put-upon, least respected group of people everywhere.[/quote]

Nurses and nurse assistants have overburdened jobs that aren’t necessarily paid well.  Add on to that the knowledge that if you make a mistake, someone could die.  If teachers make a mistake, they get to try again tomorrow.

And don't forget the underpaid overworked farmers and immigrant labor workers who have no unions and no say in the hours they have to put in or how they are treated.  These workers have social safety net if they get sick or injured.  They work or their family starves-now that’s stress.

Police, firefighters, military workers all have overburdened, underpaid jobs coupled with high mortality rates.  Thankfully is still very rare for a teacher to die at work.

Teachers get to work in a mostly air conditioned room with seats, scheduled breaks, health insurance, and guaranteed income with the added bonus of the opportunity to affect lives and mold future generations.  Sure the job is hard, but the hardest in the world?  Not even close.
