[quote=Anonymous]It is hard, especially if you are teaching and your kids are the same age as your students! I taught K-2 and have had to take a few years off because it felt like I never actually left work....I just transferred between different kid situations. I write curriculum for various non-profits now, and the difference between a regular "job" and teaching is huge....I have adult time, I can pee when I want, and I don't have to be "on" all of the time. Most of my teaching happened in low-income schools, which adds to the emotional "weight" of the job. I plan to return to teaching, but not until my kids are in middle school. I honestly could not find a reasonable way to balance teaching (and do it well) with parenting (I'm the primary parent most of the time), which is why I made a career shift last year. [/quote]
