I knew someone who worked as a primary school teacher
She had done this job for the best part of 20 years, and loved it. Apart from the last four or five, where the levels of child behaviour and disobedience had got so bad that she actually found herself about to give one of the little (5 year old) terrors a good slap.

She signed herself off with stress, and then manouevered herself into redundancy soon after, then buggered off to Spain with her husband.
