      Any job that requires dealing with people is inherently more stressful

      Having done a small bit of teaching I can sympathise. It’s extremely full on, its basically a performance job like you’re putting on an interactive play or hours often with little break. From what I hear from teachers I know the challenges of dealing with kids with severe​ ​behavioural issues or bad cases of autism still integrated into normal classes are significant and tend to fall unevenly on certain teachers seen as better able to deal with hard cases. Also parents ​expect and have an unprecedented level of access, often texting or emailing them will outside of school hours.

      That said at least from primary teaching which this seems to be about they have short days and ample holidays to recover from burnout that aren’t available to most other people

      I’ve never seen morale so low in schools as it is now. People outside the system have no idea how much schools have been struggling the last couple of years.

      Friend of mine is a teacher and she loved it so much. But the past year she is struggling big time. Kids have no attention span and behavioural problems.
      How my kids teacher in Senior Infants is not deaf is beyond me. Two of the girls in the class just constantly scream and its so high pitched my kid comes home with a headache every day.

      It’s pretty stressful at the moment from talking to a principal. Funding is very, very tight. Making ends meet is really difficult this year. There are some really stressful home and parenting situations from which students are coming to school. And there are increased demands on teachers for students who really require a lot of support. Teachers are doing it but burnout is a marker for how long they can do it for.

      My sister is a pre-school teacher and the amount of parents who want to send children in with their tablet is unreal. Obviously they say no, so the parents rock up and just before going in take the tablet from the child and whoosh them in the door. So the first couple of hours of the day are spent trying to calm these kids down and redirect them to actually play. 

      You couldn’t pay me enough to do that job!

      It’s not only teachers – every job is more stressful. People are a hell of a lot more difficult to deal with nowadays- only difference is teachers will get 60 off days holidays to help them along.

      Not to take away from the main article, but ask any Early Childcare Educator and they’ll tell you that this is what it has been like for them for years. And without any of the perks associated with being a teacher. Good managers and staff are leaving Early Childcare for retail and anything else that pays better, leaving behind people who haven’t got a clue. The government have done a terrible job at laying the foundations for education and it was always going to spill over into primary education.

      High levels of stress and burnout in tech companies too. Love how teachers always complain with their half days and summers / half the year off
