Lame! All your hard work and education down the drain! And what will you do when the kids grow up and you aren’t needed? You’ll have no real work experience.

Here’s a hint: most corporate/office jobs are not real jobs! I know y’all have very high opinions of yourselves, but having Zoom meetings to discuss the spreadsheet, then a follow up meeting about the meeting, then a new version of the spreadsheet with the X and Y axis flipped and a meeting about circling back to put a pin in it until Q3? It’s all busywork, the adult equivalent of in-class worksheets.

A few years teaching is all the experience anyone needs to properly deal with the average corporate manager. They’re practically children.

She will be out of the workforce raising someone else’s kids like a SAHM. It’s incredibly difficult to get back in once your out for a few years.

Not really. I worked in finance until 29, left for 4 years to try to be a real estate agent, and came back pretty easily. Would
I be slightly more senior had I stayed? Definitely, but I’m happy with my life experience and I’m making good money. I know plenty of others with similar stories of trying and failing at entrepreneurship and coming back and picking back up where they left off no problem. You, and many others, just sip too much of the corporate cool—aid.

+1. The issue is folks in our environment spent so much time going to college, advanced degrees, and sucking up to superiors that very few can admit this.

The quality of these hires is going to be….iffy…in my opinion. I hope I’m wrong and desire carries them through the first few years.

Only two out of five of our student teachers even finished the school year last year.

Wait, what? They dropped out? And didn't finish their teaching degree?

They dropped out of student teaching. I assume they switched their major to something else.

HAHAHA. Great move kid. Whoever was smart enough to say "eff this!" to becoming a teacher is exactly the kind of person who should be a teaching our kids! Probably was good enough at math to realize what a bad life decision education is.

In Virginia students major in their content area (math, biology, history, english, art) etc. and teaching licensure is an 'add on' process. So it's not that hard to switch away from education if it doesn't suit you.

I love DCUM, constantly insulting even when they don’t have a fraction of accurate knowledge on the process.

It’s not difficult to get back in to teaching at all. I was hired for the first job I applied for after taking 5 years off. That was 6 years ago so not in the depths of this crisis.

All the SAHPs and WFH Karens think they have all the answers when they rarely have any.

Right? I have friends who have been former teachers and counselors for years who are still getting lots of. “Heyyyyy if you ever want to return to k-12, our system would love to have you!” emails from administrators that they never even worked with. The desperation is real.

You didn’t leave the workforce completely. When you leave to become a SAHM, it’s totally different. It’s a lot harder to go back into the workforce after being out for years, as you no longer have current references, etc.

Totally not applicable in teaching. Schools don't really care if a former teacher stayed home for a year or ten.

I don’t think anyone’s checked my references since 1995.

No friends who are nannies, correct.
