Subject: RE: BS: Getting out of teaching
I'm sure you're right Sooz. but lets face it there are a hell of a lot of unhappy bunnies down that particular burrow.

This chap seems very unhappy. If that's the way he feels, he's better off doing something else.

I can think of a lot of things that would have helped me be a better teacher in retrospect. If the job doesn't fulfil you though, how ever good a job you make of it, or how ever easy the job is for you - it really isn't for you.

I personally had no choice, when Denise got ill she was entirely dependant on me - she literally couldn't move with arthritis for nearly ten years till they thought she was old enough to do joint replacement surgery. I just had to stay home and take care of her. Being a musician and guitar teacher came out of that situation. Couldn't think of anything else - I often wish I'd thought harder!

This guy would be better off looking around and thinking hard what he WOULD like to do. Perhaps this is his chance to do it.
