[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  To the teacher getting her middle school endorsement.  No way will you EVER be able to put in 40 hour work weeks.  Maybe 50 on a good week and especially if you have a 4 day week due to a holiday.  The first few years will be the hardest and you can plan on 70-80 hour weeks then.  Make sure you get at least 5 years in before having kids.  [/quote]

So what about all the teacher moms?  Are they all really pulling 60 hour weeks while raising kids? [/quote]

I don't know too many teacher moms. I see a lot of young teachers with no kids or young kids or middle aged empty nesters or those who just didn't have kids and literally have no life (they are the ones who tend to pile on the work).

I am joining the profession now that my kids are teens but I still feel like I'm burning the candles at both ends as I have mom's taxi duties many nights. No way in hell could I have been an effective teacher when my kids were younger. Hat's off to those supermom/teachers, wherever you are.[/quote]
