Hi everyone, I was reading an article about teaching kids and how stressful this is and the author says,  "Daily facing little dears whose favourite pleasure is trying to do teacher's head in: keeping them off the streets and out of everyone's hair for most of the day."  

Well, I couldn't find any phrase like that in any dictionary and I can't figure out the meaning. Can anyone help me?? Thanks- Andie

Try to do one's head in = attempt to infuriate or exasperate one; try to drive one crazy.
