Thread Name: BS: Getting out of teaching
Subject: RE: BS: Getting out of teaching
Bruce Michael Baillie,

You admitted yourself you wouldn't teach. Admit this: if you have a vocation, a calling to teach and the situation in which you are teaching is unbearable then the pain and frustration of not being able to achieve what you set out to achieve is immeasurably unbearable. The decision to leave teaching is never, never taken lightly, but sometimes, to save our sanity, our health and our souls we have to leave.

Don't, please don't, look at it from the outside and cast judgements. If you yourslef chose not to teach why judge people who gave it a go and who are now in personal, emotional, psychological and spiritual conflict over not being able to achieve their noble aims of teaching?
