Im in school right now getting my BS in childhood education. My mother in law has been in the board of ed for 20 years, she started as a 1st grade teacher and did that for 5 yrs and then switched positions. She said it was a lot of work and stressful, yes she had summers off but alot of it was spent preparing for the year ahead. my sister in law would have to help her grade test papers, she def took her job home. With that said teachers get paid 45,000 starting with no prior experience and just a BS, it continues to go up. right now she is a resource room teacher (she has 7 kids a day that need extra help) and she has FREE summers no lesson plans,out of work by 3 and has only 7 kids, is making over 80,000 a yr. Working for the BD of ED is a great choice but be wise in what job title you take. Im going for the BS in education and will be certified to teach by next yr but will not be a classroom teacher for me its just too much. hope this helps
