My mums a teacher, my sister is studying teaching and I am planning on going back to uni in a couple of years time and doing my dip ed too. As a child it was great always having mum around before and after school and during the holidays - that is definitely the best advantage of the job.

But upon saying that there is still a lot of extra work to be done - your job doesnt stop at 3pm when the bell rings. So as long as you are aware of that and that there will be nights at home when you are doing marking and programming then yes it is a very family friendly job.
