Fed-up Working Mother of Forrestfield, Reader's Comment 27 of 37, Fed up teachers form Educators at Risk support group, Yasmine Phillips, education reporter, The Sunday Times, 19 February 2011: http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/fed-up-teachers-form-educators-at-risk-support-group/story-e6frg12c-1226008658607 Historical link preserved from the original page.

South Australian teacher: Classroom teaching is one of the hardest jobs around. Historical link preserved from the original page.

I have gone from being a classroom teacher to working in a 9-5 salaried job.

I now work significantly less hours each year, for slightly more pay, and enjoy the 4 weeks holiday I get.

Classroom teaching is one of the hardest jobs around, it takes 6 ten hour days per week just to keep up with the marking, preparation and administration.

This leaves very little time for creativity or innovation in teaching.

In my experience it is much easier working in the "real world".

I'm quitting teaching and it is not the kids.
