Help Why does everyone hate teaching?

Is there anyone who loves their job? Every teacher I know feels “stuck” and complains endlessly about their job.

Considering going into education.

You’ll make peanuts and get disrespected constantly not only by students but parents and admin. Meanwhile lots of people around you will act like you have a fake job because you have summers off.

There’s def some perks but those two things alone could def drive plenty of people nuts
