[quote=Anonymous]I did this, after a stint in a different career field and a longer stint as a SAHM. I started teaching in my early 20s and didn't return to the classroom until I was late 30s, and then worked as a para for several years before teaching again. It works for me/ my family for three reasons: older kids, a mostly wfh spouse, and enough spousal income to outsource a ton of things. Everyone is different but I wouldn't have gone back if at least two out of the three things I mentioned weren't in place. Some days are really hard and I put in way more than 40 hours most weeks. I generally like my job but I'm not sure I'll stay in the field until retirement unless there's a big overhaul in educational policies. There was a big shift after NCLB and those of us who were in classrooms before and after have seen it firsthand.[/quote]
