I hope you're joking. From their principals to the parents who constantly complain that their Johnny isn't getting enough one on one instruction, they get more than their fair share of criticism. That doesn't include the parents that complain that their little "angel" could not have done those bad things the teacher has said they did.
How would you like to manage a class of students mixed in with those with special needs who are always acting out? Better yet, working with those that have special needs because of a shortage of teachers aides. You make it sound like their job is a piece of cake.
The one I know also works evenings as a swin instructor giving lessons to kids as well as teaching water aerobics classes to adults. Hardly a meaningless job during the school year and in the summer.
