    My wife is a teacher.

    The problem with “summer holidays” is that you ultimately need to prep for your new classes, so you’re starting before the kids get in. Alongside this, going on holiday is very expensive, since holiday prices are jacked up when the kids are out of school.

    It’s a very stressful job with few perks. With that being said, in the UK the pay isn’t awful if you make it to a good level. It’s still arguably low for the hours they put in.
