Your other school sounds nothing short of awesome! Wow :o)
To be honest, I've kind of enjoyed being a figure of authority when I worked at the primary school; it's tough to learn to be, well, tough when needs be (I discovered with horror that I was able to make a kid cry - because (s)he had misbehaved and I had to send him/her off from the library - and still maintain a firm attitude). But the thing is, when you're a supervisor, you're not a teacher, you can only give detentions (not praises when they've done well, like good marks) and it's very difficult to position yourself in the hierarchy of the school - the kids are usually much less polite (when they are at all) than to the teachers. Plus, I did it for four years, it's right there on my CV (or is it résumé?), and I'd like to move on to a more adult job. Schools generally hire university students, who then have a way to pay for their studies.
(Seriously, I can't get over how adorable your old school sounds. Although with my luck, I would probably have ended up sitting on the chocolate :P)
