Hi I'm a total newbie here - I got a first in law, but I realise my passion is in teaching so I'm planning to leave practice. Do you think I'll have a high chance to teach say English or GP? How is the career path like and is there a demand?

No official working hours. It all depends on your duty and situation. If you have nothing after official curriculum time, no one will stop you from leaving. However, most Teachers usually have remedial, consultations, CCA or other meetings. Also, it doesn’t mean that work ends when you leave school. Usually, Teachers bring work home to mark or prepare for lessons. Primary/Sec schools usually will be locked up by 7pm. JC - 9-10pm.

Language teachers especially EL are really in great shortage island wide.. The marking for EL is really...
There are teachers who are totally burnt out and left the service... If you get a first in law, you may want to join poly and be a lecturer.. Better work life balance..

Well said, teaching is not for everyone and anyone... I have seen my fair share of teachers who resigned after their bonds...
If you think teaching is easy, you are obviously mistaken.

He will not be re-hired as a teacher, as such dismissal is irreversible as it is considered against public interest. So yes, if you think about it, vengeful students have the power to singlehandedly destroy a teacher's career. Just like how a person can singlehandedly destroy his manager/supervisor's career. Just accuse your superior of sexual misconduct, settled. Even if he is cleared, the story and cirumstances of the case and investigation will smear his name forever (especially in the internet age). This is how it works in Singapore.
However, there are no guidelines prohibiting him from re-entering the education service as a non-teaching officer e.g. HQ officer or academy officer.
