If you ever want to get scared straight as it were? Take a teacher out for drinks (and you better pay for them!). You’ll hear LOTS of horror stories and get even a glimpse into the kind of hell they have to put up with.

My mom was a 6th grade teacher for 20 years. She always said that the worst part of the job was not the kids, but dealing with parents.

She recently pivoted to admin work. I don’t blame her one bit.
