my wife is a teacher/assistant principal of a middle school 6-8.
many grade 12 teachers are asked to come in and help correct diploma exams though.
I believe in my wife is fairly compensated for what she does. and thats just the honest truth. Would I ever do her job, not a chance cause I'd probably kill the little s!!
the thing about a teacher is, its ongoing. Yuo cant get away from your job, it encompasses yuo and surrounds you for the entire time you are at the school and then you bring the stuff home.
its not like you or I, when we are bored, we go on CP for a while and exchange interesting comments. She doesnt get that luxury. She goes from the time she gets to work until she's done marking or whatever it is she is doing. you really have to see it to believe it.
now maybe my wife is different, but honestly, we've been together for 16 years and its only gotten worse with her work, definately not better.
