It's no longer my problem of course, but I assure you that the long holidays are recuperation time.
In my last year in my permanent teaching post, my HT informed me that teachers should expect to be sworn at.
It's gradually become worse. I know of several instances of pregnant women being hit in schools. As I've said elsewhere on these boards, it happened to me.
I have no idea why but around 2000 there was a distinct shift in attitude. When I was a young teacher, it was safe for a woman to break up a fight between two boys - there was an unspoken code of honour that meant that a teenage boy wouldn't hit a woman. Not now.
Between 2000 and 2018, I twice had a desk thrown at me, once was punched in the stomach whilst pregnant, and once was kicked in the stomach after suffering a miscarriage (not the same year). Misogyny has definitely increased: in both cases of my being hit in the stomach, the teenager concerned most definitely meant to aim for the stomach area. They were laughing while they did it.
The second time I was trying to keep out of reach since I was still uncomfortable - I'd miscarried at home - and the boy actually jumped up on a desk so that he could take aim at me with his feet.
I recall boys discussing how they had 'fun' at the weekend - they'd look for a loan teenager to jump. (A colleague's son actually sustained brain damage after such an attack. A young male teaching colleague was attacked at a bus station.) There is a different mindset nowadays and (in Scotland at any rate) the police avoid charging anyone under the age of 16 and current sentencing requirements mean that anyone under the age of 25 is unlikely to get a prison sentence.
I cannot tell you what the outcome was, but a teenage boy at a school where I worked some years ago used a pencil to stab a woman teacher in the neck. The police did attend. The local FB page was full of his neighbours complaining that it was the teacher's fault.
I did do a tiny amount of supply after my husband died but I couldn't go back full time to that, I really couldn't. In one week I was hit twice whilst stopping assaults, a young teacher was punched on the arm and a Pupil Support Assistant (whose wage is risible) was hit in the corridor whilst pregnant.
Those outside the profession have no idea of some of the things that happen. On several occasions, I've raised concerns about boys displaying behaviour that suggested that they were going to become sex offenders.
In one case, I was literally laughed at. The boy left school at 16 and committed the assault he'd described in his work - only the victim was much younger than the victim in his story.
So far as workload is concerned, I always refused to do exam marking [ETA for the exam board] though I can tell you from my experience of marking mocks that some subjects are less onerous to grade than others. (Unusually these days, I was qualified to teach three subjects and there were some years that I graded mocks/prelims for all three.)
My main subject took the longest to grade. One of the things that i definitely don't miss is spending most of my evenings and weekends marking.
It varies from school to school, but promoted staff at my school gradually lost their managerial time, so eventually we finished up doing all our paperwork after to hours, to the extent that I wasn't leaving the building until 7.30 pm (unless it was a parents' evening).
The final straw for me was when I got home late from work one night to find that my husband (by then a stroke victim) had scalded himself at lunchtime trying to make a coffee. That was when I tendered my resignation.
I only tutored twice - once as a favour to a friend where a youngster needed to learn English and once for a pupil who was being home schooled by the LA because he suffered from Cystic Fibrosis. I only saw him for maybe three months, just enough to supervise his coursework and mocks.
I wouldn't advise any young person to go into teaching these days. Possibly for a subject like P.E., but even that has its challenges nowadays. If you teach a subject that is allowed to be selective then that's possibly not too bad.
So far as primary is concerned, I've no first-hand experience, but I gather that the forward planning is dreadfully complicated and that the behavioural challenges are catching up with those in secondary.
