Anything's stressful if you actually give a damn though isn't it?
I look after hundreds of millions of squids for my day job and make decisions that, if they're wrong, may well contribute to killing someone and most of the time its fucking scary (social / charitable sector).
So sometimes I might think I'd like to "have a rest" and be a teacher. But when I think about it, I'd far rather be responsible for a load of money and possibly fuck that up than hundreds of kids, and fuck them up.
It all seems to be a bit of a moot argument. Constant battle to see who's got a worse lot than anyone else. We're all ultimately fucked aren't we, so let's all just hold hands and sob quietly.

You put it a lot more succinctly then me.

I like you point, and I concur, it would be nice if people stopped whining about how teachers are getting it wrong though and maybe looked at why
this perception has occured, maybe even volunteering as a CA to see how "easy" it is and then when they get home they could do some marking and write a few reports, maybe do some lesson planning whilst thinking about what to do about the disclosure you had today. It's not a 9 to 5 as I am certainly sure your job isn't. There are alot of fucking hard jobs out there, being a soldier for one must be harder. Lets just not jump down the teachers throats straight away, kind of shooting the messenger IMO.
