[quote=Anonymous]Can I ask a follow up question for th HS teachers?  My kids often say they spent a class period working independently or in small groups.  I had assumed teachers used that time for grading.  Is that incorrect?

I am thinking about this for a late career switch.  My brother did it in his 50s and is now retiring at 67; he really loved it.  My own kids are mostly grown and I spend much of the day working with AHs currently so I feel lol my tolerance is probably high.  Plus I am super familiar with the pointless bureaucracy that is our public school system.I have spent a lot of time volunteering with kids and teens in scouts and I really love spending time with them.  They are such a hoot. I miss it now that my kids are aging out of all those activities.  I also have kids with SN and spent a lot of the last two decades reading books and studies about different learning styles.

I think the early mornings and the loss of flexibility schedule would be really hard though.  [/quote]
