the difference is that teachers (mostly high school and middle school) usually have to work with problem kids as well as good kids, while it seems easy it isn’t, my roomie used to be a teacher, he couldn’t take it, if it wasn’t the bad kids, it was the bad kids parents yelling about the teacher being too hard, and he taught typing!
When you are a teacher you see just how messed up some kids are because of their idiotic parents, and the miracles you are supposed to make as the kid just doesn’t want to listen or learn, and when you try to stand up for yourself the principle tells you to stop making waves.
While you do get time off, the job isn’t what I’d exactly call easy either
