A recent survey has shown that teaching can be one of the most stressful jobs. Not only do you have to content with pupils misbehaving but also have to ensure that they learn what they need to to pass their exams and perform well when it comes to advancing in their education.
Teachers will also have to cope with Ofsted inspections which are usually carried out every three years or so and this can add a lot of work to an already busy schedule without even considering the added pressure of having someone watch how you teach and report on it.
Marking, planning, parent evenings, report writing and setting up the classroom displays is all work that is mostly done after school hours, so many teachers find themselves work as soon as they get home and / or weekends to keep on top of everything. With this in mind, it is no wonder the teaching has appeared in the top stressful jobs.
