[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our last remaining teacher resident quit yesterday. Despite having lots of “real world” experience in his subject area, he couldn’t make it past 7 months. Maybe teaching isn’t as easy as the keyboard warriors suggest?[/quote]

I think any career transition is difficult. The ones who do it successfully are the ones who transition in their I’m still moldable 20’s or the I don’t give 2F’s I’m doing it for the cheap insurance late 50s.

Switching careers is very difficult for most people for the same reasons a mid career teacher moving out would flounder and probably fail in the corporate world.

Teaching is a job just like any other job. Period.

I just moved out of teaching into a corporate job and it’s so much easier. You’re off the mark.[/quote]

+1, 15K more in pay and about 1/2 the work. I’ve had many days where I’ve worked for an hour or so, replied to some emails, touched base with some co-workers, maybe attended a meeting where no new tasks were assigned, took a 30-60 minutes lunch, and then pretend the work for a few hours.[/quote]

Troll. This is what teachers think "corporate jobs" are like, not realizing that we don't all have the same job and our jobs are also very demanding, just in a different way from yours.[/quote]

It is for some people. I’m a teacher and my husband “works” about 4 solid hours a day. The rest is “being around” to support the people on his team if they need it.[/quote]
