Don't know why I'm starting this thread really. Just fed up and feel like a moan. Dh is a secondary deputy head, about to quit because he can't stand the awful stress any more, or live with the fact that his job basically entails data-crunching and making teachers do all the crap that they hate and quite rightfully complain about. In desperation he's applied for a job which will earn him approximately half his current salary. He's very worried about the decision financially, but this job is making him ill.
I am a teacher too. Teaching is all either of us ever wanted to do. I've been sahm and doing bits of supply, cover here and there etc but I'm going to need to go back full time if dh gets this lower paid job. I hate the thought of going back to ft teaching, the way the job is atm, but it's all I am really qualified to do.
Don't get me wrong - I know we are not on the poverty line and people have it a lot worse. It's just so depressing that the education system is haemorrhaging teachers like us, who were in it for life.
