How can anyone work like that? It's insane! My mind does not work on a 9-to-5 schedule. It feels like the government is holding a gun to my head and ordering me to be creative and inspired on command. Does not work!
That's how I feel a lot of the time, except with instructions that say "make something that looks nice" but mean "I expect you to read my mind".
That said, teaching is a difficult job. My dad used to be a P.E. teacher for years but he eventually burnt out because the school he taught at was going down in quality from mismanagement and being in a relatively poor part of the city so he felt he was more of a police officer than a P.E. teacher when he had to tell the kids not to kick the light switches and too many kids refused to participate.
Tangent aside, I feel for you, teaching is a difficult enough job as it is without the government making it harder for no good reason.
