Is teaching really as hard as teachers claim? A listener says teaching is easy compared with the police, firefighters and nurses.
Two primary school teachers take on one of the most unpopular opinions about teaching and workload.
A listener wrote in saying teaching pays well, comes with loads of time off and is in a different league to other public services. Hayden and Dylan admit some jobs carry far more danger and trauma. Then they ask what 'hard' actually means. They cover nurses who retrained as teachers, the 'five cups of water' analogy, why teaching fractions to a six-year-old is nothing like knowing fractions yourself, and why one easy school doesn't mean the job is easy.
