Being a teacher is the most stressful profession.

Being a teacher is the most stressful profession.

Being a teacher is a very stressful profession.
Teachers make long hours, and work up to sometimes 50 hours a week.
Most teachers have a member of their team that has commited suicide, or at least tried to.
With the bureacracy, the loans that are minimal and the stress, teaching does not seem to be a very atractive job. Therefor the Union has passed two resolutions to decreas all this presure; First, the union must support victims of work stress. Secondly, the Health and Sefety Executive should intervine in shools were employees do not carry out certain assesments of the risk of stress.

I know that teachers had it bad, but this is just  sad. Since teaching jobs are so bad, no one will want to become a teacher and therefor risking the future of a society build on knoweledge.
I hope the resolutions will help teachers a bit, but I do not think they will be very effective.
Maybe if we retreat the troops that are having a war now somewhere in the world, use that money to better the education and give teachers a higher salary, teaching will become an atractive profession and more people will want to become a teacher. And thus making it easier for the teachers.

  1. I agree with Marlot. Besides why did it took so long to find him if he lived in a million dollar house? I also think that murdering him was a big and foolish mistake. Imprisonment for life is more effective.

  2. I can agree that being a teacher is a very stressful job. I guess they even need to take all of their work home, like grading tests and such. This can be very stressful indeed, but I do think that physical jobs are more hard and stressful that being a teacher. Teachers are able to probably relax with a healthy body later.. while people with hard, physical jobs will struggle with stress because of pain all their life. Therefore, I think that being a teacher can be very stressful.. but not at the top.
