[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to add.....

Currently, I work (teach) about 25 hours a week, spend approximately 10 hours in meetings, duty time, or planning, and enjoy summer breaks and holidays off. I don't typically bring work home, but despite these advantages, the job remains physically and mentally demanding, leaving me exhausted most days and weeks.

Lastly, another area I would need to consider is how a transition may impact my pension/retirement planning.[/quote]

Private school teacher here (formerly public)

Maybe continue teaching, but in a different environment? My passion for teaching was renewed when I switched to private. It isn’t  easier, but it was a great change.

I do have to ask: how do you manage to bring no work home? I’m in my 20th year and I work 55-65 hours a week. The grading alone takes 20 hours a week (essays, tests, projects). I can’t imagine bringing no work home![/quote]
Don't private school teachers make a lot less money?[/quote]

I’m the private school PP.
I am paid similar to my public school pay. (Only about $2K less.) I make nowhere near $130K, though.[/quote]
