thing is, I actually don't think i'm that badly paid. it isn't the money.scifisam said:
I am just getting really fucked off with working flat out from 7.30am till at least 5.30pm every night- with no breaks - then having work to do at home every night, and weekends, and being under massive fucking pressure to raise our results by 5% ever fucking year. TBH, knowing that a member of SMT anywhere has time to post on a bulletin board when i don't have time to scratch my fucking arse makes me want to throw things.
I'm seriously demotivated at the moment. If I didn't enjoy working with the kids so much I'd have handed in my fucking notice this week and fuck it if that means bankruptcy.

No.

Don't take it out on me.
The fact that I'll be working until about one in the morning today, and then tomorrow night, and then Saturday morning (there are two Saturdays this term I've not been into school).
I'd love to finish at 5.30 every evening. Still, at least I have people like you telling me I should have less of a life.
Idaho said:
This isn't far from the truth. It's not dedication though; it's that I simply can't survive without preparing thoroughly for each day. I generally wake at 5am, so late (11pm - 1am typically) is time for myself to fuck about and that.
Oh, and I wack out a post on urban sometimes in my office - it can upset people if you like.
I'd far prefer to be a classroom teacher but we're going to have kids soon and I want my wife to have a couple of years off work...
I was asked by the kids whether I'd give up work if I won the lottery - I said I wouldn't but I'd teach more (though maybe 3 days a week).
Anyway, I've a set of books to mark, two lessons to plan, three observations to write up, a proposal for the development of student voice, and some training on Questioning to do tonight, so I won't be able to respond until tomorrow (probably from my office
)

I'm not taking anything out on you - I'm saying that i'm pissed off that any SMT can do this. I work at school until at least 5.30 most evenings, then i take work home. This week i've left school at 9.30pm monday-weds.nonamenopackdrill said:
I'm not saying you should work more, i'm saying i should have to work less - because i spend almost all my waking hours number crunching and hoop jumping.
I didn't ever want a super high paid job precisely because I didn't want these kinds of hours. Teaching never used to be like this. I didn't go to bed at all on Sunday night, I worked straight through. There hasn't been a day this week I haven't sat at my desk after work and wept through sheer exhaustion. I'm so stressed I'm barely eating (well - at least that will help the diet).

Misbehaving!
It depends on how much I graft really.
My basic wage come in at around £1100 a month but its very rare that I only do basic hours.
At the mo' i'm doing 6 days and grabbing 3-4 hours a day overtime.
This month I came out with around £1550ish.
I'm still at home by 2 o clock so get to spend lots of time with my boy. I really do love my job.

Fair enough re the rest of your post.
It's always been this tough to me, perhaps except for when I was head of year 11, teaching three year 11 groups and they'd finished.
I'm off now promise.

see - I trained eleven years ago, then left teaching in 1999. Pre AFL, early days of league tables.nonamenopackdrill said:
Now everything is fucking teaching to the letter of the exam, and every "D" has to be turned into a "C" or else.
edit - sorry chaps. ignore me. thread derail and no one wants to hear my job misery.

not all of it does (i like the teaching - in fact i don't mind the number crunching - it's the hours)Kanda said:I don't get how people can stay in a career that makes them miserable.
i've been back less than a year
it's that or bankruptcy.

My ex-husband used to teach A level maths. He got disillusioned back in the mid 70s. So he left, and became a field worker/market stall holder etc etc. Took him some serious hard physical graft for about 10 years to get back to the point he was at in terms of wages etc. But even then, he got sucked into big supermarkets (as I did) - and those are long hours for low pay whilst they overcharge their customers and rake in millions and billions of profit. Leave one aspect of the system, get sucked up into another.

I think if worked it out on hourly basis for the time I spend in work it wouldn't suprise if it was below minimum wage. I havn't because I don't want to know.
But then I find myself walking along the shore of Lake Windermere to get to my next session (we have about 400 acres) and realize that even a really bad day is better then any I ever had in the office.
More money would be nice, but I get by, I have enough to eat, pay rent and sometimes can even afford some new climbing gear.

700 quid. Although if I was going to compare it to a UK salary I would add 1000 quid on top of it for how much rent on a similar flat would cost in the uk

Bringing YOU round.....
£750 + £70.20 -child benefit + £312 (working tax credit and child tax credit) = £1132 for me and masterdarkone, my mortgatge is £500.
Actualy its not that bad considering I only work 18.30 hours a week and I could have a lodger if I was a lovely laid back tolerant kinda person.... but I am a nightmare to live with.....

I'm an outdoor education instructor take kids and young people climbing, kayking and loads of other activities. Sometimes its used just for the experiance, other times as part of development programs, for example we do one of the weeks of the Princes Trust programme. Can be very hard work, but is normally rewarding.
I think I would have been punched the other day when I told an 18 year old on a youth programe that he was big enough and ugly enough to decide for himself if he should go swimming in a cold lake at the start of a 4 hour session, but he couldn't get me as he wouldn't be able to catch my kayak. Experiential education at its best (for both of us).
Always smoked with baccy so thats what colour the smoke is.

adjust for cost of living and it's probably about 1500
And if you adjust for what the flat you are in would cost back home more like 2000
ESL in Asia really isn't such a bad short-term thing. Although not sure I want to do it much beyond the next couple of years.
