Education / Teaching thread

wyrmer said

I just gave up teaching and switched careers. I was sick and tired of being, well, sick and tired. I have way more energy when I get home from work. Sure, I miss working with youths, but my stress levels are WAY lower now. I still work with people and feel like I work for the betterment of society, just in a different capacity.

I have been with my kid at his pre
school for just an hour and it made me appreciate teachers even more which was already at high level of appreciation. Teachers should be paid more especially at the public school level. However, the school breaks and summer need to be shorter. Many people equate teacher pay to all of the days off they get. Maybe we should think outside the box and not have a break in education?
