I've tried it and it's worse than the ops job I have now. Very stressful. Even teachers I know agree. You do get long vacations to compensate, but it's not all good.

Yes, many, many people enjoy working and generally interacting with the children. The vacations are a perk, but they're not even the primary perk.

Not sure where you get pleasant perk from - a lot of teachers I know are often working 12 hour days.
