Could you please indicate a typical day; ie 6am wake up, what time get to/leave school. Can you work 7am-3pm. Do you enjoy it? Why/why not? Do you earn enough for a good lifestyle; what's your lifestyle like? Thankyou for your help.

I teach primary school in New Zealand, but I would think it was similar. I get up about 6:15, head to school about 7:30, arriving by 8. I spend an hour or so getting ready for the day - photocopying, organising resources etc. The students arrive from 8:45, so I chat with them as they come it. The day starts at 9, and we have a break from 10:40-11. I teach from 11-12:30, then lunch 12:30 -1:15 (I have playground duty one play time and 2 half lunchtimes per week, the other days I tend to eat for 10-15 minutes and then back to my room to mark books or prepare for the next session).In the classroom again from 1:15-3.I do my bus roll, which gets me back to my room about 3.10. At least twice a week (usually 3) I have a meeting until 4.30. I usually leave school by 5-5:30. Two or three times a week I bring books or other work home, which is another hour or two after dinner. You could probably manage 7-3 on a Friday, though, as you have the rest of the weekend to finish the work you didn't do in the week. I get paid reasonably well here (as long as I don't work it out as a hourly rate). I can run my car, pay my rent, eat out occasionally, and travel domestically and occasionally overseas. You won't get rich. (you also don't get to take two weeks off in the holidays, either!) Hope that helps
