[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who went into corporate training. She says teaching adults is SO much easier than teaching kids. [/quote]

I am a teacher, my brother is a corporate trainer.  The difference between his job and mine is night and day as far as support.

He gets something like 2 days to “prep” for every day he teaches, and that doesn’t include travel time, or planning his courses, or the breaks he gets while teaching.  It also doesn’t include writing any curriculum or learning new curriculum.  So for every 6 hour day he teaches familiar content he gets 16 hours to prepare, back in the office.  It’s mind boggling to me.

On the other hand, we have a professional day coming up which means I will have like 3 hours of uninterrupted planning time and DCUM is up in arms about the “wasted time”.[/quote]

My friend says she has similar circumstances. Her company apparently loves hiring former teachers for these roles and the people who go into it wonder why they didn't make the move sooner. [/quote]
