Or any job where you deal with messed up or angry people all day. Social workers and health professionals involved in worker's compensation, for example, have suicide and hostage-taking protocols at the office. They're routinely cursed at and abused by their clients. And yet they work eight hours a day, five days a week, for 48 weeks a year.
There's nothing unique about the stress of teaching. If it weren't for the fact there are 40,000 teachers in Alberta, it would be just another stressful yet anonymous job nobody gives much thought to.
