[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Less is better due to potential retaliation and hard feelings across staff and admin. If you were important to them they would have done more to keep you to begin with. Move on, don’t look back. Don’t burn bridges either though, leave everything in order, cross your T’s dot your I’s.

No, that's the wrong calculus. In return for a year contract without worrying about getting fired or laid off, teachers agree to not quit midway through.

It's not a job where you can be let go at any point, and where you may quit at any time.  So your advice is off target.[/quote]

Err... this depends on where you teach. Some places you can absolutely be let go mid year. Not likely in this climate, but definitely possible especially in a right to work state.
FWIW, when I left (due to having a baby) and took off a while before I was due, I gave notice to my admin but kept it under the radar from most colleagues until the last minute. I was glad I did because some made pretty rude comments and made my job(I was SPED, had to work closely with reg ed) more difficult.  It was an uncomfortable few weeks. [/quote]
