These few weeks for example, teachers have to bring the p5 kids to go watch the NDP rehearsals on Saturday....until like 12am before all reach school and dismissed..Also career path is relatively limited, if you are not going under the management scheme to be HOD and principal (v limited number of HOD posts anyway compared to the number of teachers in a school) etc at most you go towards the senior teacher scheme or something. |
I have known teachers avoiding the 'HOD' path due to the more 'sai kang' things required to be done. Ok lah, bring p5 kids go watch
NDP, try to enjoy also. It's not like accompany them go to graveyard. Some of my friends take CCA as something to chill.
Teaching friends in school by 7.30am and leave by 8pm? You are already paid 5k+ still whine. 8pm is not bad compared to people working in big4 firms.
