...do teachers really work that hard?

I know the general idea on AIBU is that teachers work load is ridiculous, that they work extra hard and that they never never stop to the point that they r all seemingly leaving the profession.

But, AIBU to wonder if they are any different to anyone else? and actually might have it a bit easier? I mean, I also work myself into the ground, am exhausted, never stop etc... But I don't have summer holidays off to look after my kids, and I often work well into the small hours at night.

I'm not saying teachers don't work hard, but sometimes on munsnet I just feel like some teachers kind of spend a lot of time complaining about the workload, when maybe it's just the same as everyone elses, but with a nice long summer holiday?

(Sorry, I appreciate this will really inflame some posters, but it just had been annoying me lately)

Morning all. Just dropping by to say thanks for the reports about this one. And yes, it's a bit of a goady OP but we can see it's been robustly challenged. We'll keep it up for now, but please give us a nudge if the Talk guidelines get too bent out of shape.

Hi all. Just dropping by to point at the blackboard. Right next to where some joker has written, 'knob end' - it also says, in large letters, No personal attacks. Please bear this in mind or we'll be dishing out some detentions.
