nyed Former classroom teacher who moved over to the educational publishing industry

No one enters teaching for the money. Salaries of teachers with Master's Degrees fall behind those of other professions but in terms of financial security, not much comes close to teaching. Depending on the school and staff, the job can get overwhelming and feel isolating. Also, difficult parents and unreasonable union representatives can add to the daily stresses of the position.

While teaching can be very rewarding, it requires a certain amount of hard work and effort that goes beyond a typical work day. As a teacher you are either staying late or bringing work home because you spend a majority of the day teaching lessons that you have planned in advance. You are helping students almost all day and so there is very little time to do much else. This is not a job for someone who likes to have down-time or be able to just sit around. In order to be that great teacher that every students remembers you need to dedicated, patient and flexible.

LOTS of limitations. Poor administrators. Poor parental backing. Poor discipline policies. Too much teaching to tests. And, children who do not wish to learn and who would really rather not be in school at all.
