[quote=Anonymous]I know 4 teachers who transitioned from K-12 teaching last year to other positions.  2 went to work for the Fed, 1 is doing curriculum development for an agency involved with safety, and 1 is teaching adjunct for a community college and 4-year college.  These are all teachers who were teaching K-12 last year.  I also know teachers from prior years who successfully transferred out into other non-teaching jobs.

Additionally, I know another 3 teachers from my school last year who have gone to virtual teaching.  And another 2 who went to private K-12 schools in the District.

As the pressures get worse I am not sure what I will do.  My husband wants me to quit but I derive a lot of personal satisfaction from working.  I am worried that masks will start coming off before 90% or more kids are vaccinated.  If that happens then I will not work out my contract and I'll just quit.  The job just isn't worth it.

If I choose to leave public school teaching then I will either go virtual or move to a private in the District.  Either would be an easy transition.  I get almost daily emails from some organizations wanting me to teach virtual.  Most of them are fly-by-night but the 2 most persistent are very well regarded in the G&T world.   If I went to a private I probably would try to avoid the two schools our kids are at but other than that I don't think it will be hard to get picked up.[/quote]
