yes mate, i'm secondary tech, and i do feel your pain, my wife teaches year 1 reception. we're both working, and do most nights average joe bloggs don't realise the hours that go in to teaching
My girlfriend is a primary teacher also. What grills me is when people say aye, teaching must be great! Go in at 9 and out at 3 and all those holidays. I feel like exploding!
I, and I am sure its the same for you, work more hours than most of my friends (getting paid no overtime) and as for the holidays, yeah they are good but they also have drawbacks such as being the most expensive times of year to go anywhere
