One thing I didn't like about the trailer -- the suggestion that teaching is a career where you have lots of time to party. Not true. I've taught at the college level and have friends and family who teach high school and middle school. Teaching is a very rewarding career with many benefits, but lots of free time isn't one of them. I spent my weekends and evenings grading papers, as did most of my colleagues.
Can confirm. Though I took the trailer portrayal of it as one of someone who has ideals about said career while not knowing much about the reality of it. Which people do if they've not been around teachers in their families. If I had a Euro for every time I heard "but teachers get so much time off"... (several friends and family members were/are teachers. time off for them is a distant dream)
