Its a great job (although I am now teaching secondary) But whilst you don't have to GO to work weekends or evenings - you will often have PILES of work to do during those times! The first few years the hardest and require the most work - especially preparation and you have little time "off" from face to face taching to get it done (just two hours per week in NSW). Also around reporting time I would have extra hours per night to do. I would also spend a week or two of my chrissy hols and 3-4 days each other break doing school work at home or going in to my school. That said - if you move a lot you may find you do more casual work - which has its own set of challenges
