[quote=Anonymous]I left last year after a decade of teaching and have never felt so LIGHT. I’ve thought long and hard about what would make things better to make me even consider going back

- 250k salary (this sounds extreme, but people who teach know how hard it is if you do it well)

- no work outside of contract hours

- one planning period per class

- a co-teacher in every class

- 15-20 students max per class

- no extra duties (like lunch or hallway duty)

- not having to create sub plans if I need to take off work

- student behaviors handled immediately by other adults in the building if the usual tactics don’t work in the classroom so we can focus on instruction

- being treated like the graduate-degree holding professional I am by society at large

- no more admin who talk the talk and never walk

- all classroom expenses covered

- dedicated grading time before report cards

- being treated with kindness and respect by all parents and colleagues

I’m sure there’s more that I’m forgetting.
