'Suspensions are absolutely a vacation': Teachers reveal their hot takes about the profession

Teaching is not a profession for the weak. The hours are long, the pay isn't enough, and the rewards can sometimes seem nonexistent. Do you know what this does make the job good for, though? Complaining! After spending enough time around those thankless kids, you start to have some pretty strong opinions on the whole system. It's only natural.

This was the subject of a recent Reddit thread, in which educators shared their supposedly unpopular opinions about the thing that they do for a living. With takes on everything from unruly students to types of classes they teach, it can be certain that feathers will not remain unruffled. One thing's for sure, it underlines the fact that not everybody is cut out for this line of work. You don't develop these kinds of attitudes without a fair few bumps in the road along your professional journey of teaching the nation's youth.
