Teachers have a hard time and some think otherwise.
It is more than dealing with students.
You will need to deal with parents, peers, support staff and superiors.
Pte tutors have more focused jobs.

The hardest part of teaching imo, is having to deal with difficult and problematic students, especially if you teach in neighbourhood schools. Any opinions about this statement from current MOE teachers?

You throw this sort of veiled criticism in a teacher forum. Someone ask if you speak from experience or perception. Then you get defensive and ask if they have worked private sector.
But, no one was comparing MOE to private sector roles until you jumped in. Nor is such a topic particularly fruitful. People can vote with their feet: if you think MOE offers a wonderfully stable and comfortable job, apply, join the service. HR is always recruiting.
And then you can speak from experience.

I can ask you back the same question, so what makes you think private sector jobs are easier than MOE teacher? Have you worked in the private sector before?

I just resigned from MOE
Teaching was okay, students and preparing for national exams is ok.
What drained me was all kinds of admin, meeting, parents demands, school leaders pandering to all the demands..
