Thread Name: BS: Getting out of teaching
Subject: RE: BS: Getting out of teaching
It sounds as if you've passed the point of no return. Been there myself.

When I tell people I used to be a teacher, those (like trucker Big Phil above) who are 'outsiders' (no insult intended) always ask why. Teachers (and ex-teachers) just nod knowingly.

The worst part of teaching is having everyone else knowing your job better than you do...

:o/

The big problem with leaving teaching is that you are good at a lot of things, but have no 'track record' to use as a CV.

I got out 25 years ago, and am now an audio engineer/IT consultant. Even so, I still feel strange on a Sunday night because I think I should be doing some planning for the coming week...
