my job is

just like yours except add 15 children

seriously.
Think about your job, your responsibilities, and now
add 15 children

that is teaching

We have to record keeping, observational notes, daily notes, lesson plans, research, communication to parents and supervisors, inventory, and classroom organization. Which alone is a full time job

now add 15 children

And their daily needs. We feed them, dress them, change them, help them potty, keep them entertained, track their progress, monitor their behavior, engage them in developmental appropriate play, and wipe their noses. (actually we have to clean up more than that but you know)

oh and
we have to teach them a full curriculum

people don't think about that

Take my boyfriend (Ill rag on him because he loves me)

He essentially is systems maintenance for payroll. Computer tech, systems management and error resolution.
Is complicated. I watch him run tests occasionally, and If that was my job I'd stab my eyes out.
But you know. He punches in a few commands, analyses the results, punches in a few more. sets us a system check and lets it run while he scrolls through the recent reddit feed.

His data entry is a little more complicated than a child assessment. But at least he can do it in peace. (minus his office mate cracking jokes, and the occasional email from his boss) Imagine if he had to do that job, but instead of sitting on reddit while his test runs the course, he has to tend to the needs of 15 children. AND then the developmental advancements any of the children make in that time, RESET THE DAMN TEST. (I'll finish an assessment *which takes an hour to do* then the next day that kid does something astonishing and makes me change his assessment!)
