Not to mention the hassles from administration and complete disregard by current-day students, and their rebelious parents who encourage the kids to question all authority… and think their kids are never wrong.
Not to mention having a second job on weekends and summers, and lots of room mates the first few years of teaching in most districts, because you don’t really make as much in most districts starting out as the general public believes.
Not to mention the nights and weekends spent grading papers and doing lesson plans.
The full story is never told in these types of websites.

3 months off a year is pretty damn nice. A pension is pretty damn good too. Dealing with kids/parents isn’t fun, but you only work 9 months out of a year, you get all the kids holidays off, a few personal days and then 3 months (where you can pick up another job that you can have fun with if motivated). Teachers are part of a union, they are protected pretty well unless they do something stupid.
