How many does this make? I may be intentionally not keeping track, but here is the latest viral resignation post by a teacher. When I read these I understand more facets of the argument than I am proud of. I wonder what other teachers think when they read through those viral resignation letters? Do new teachers become discouraged? Do veteran teachers do a math problem to calculate years to retirement?
I understand that as a teacher past(yikes) the middle of my career I have a different view as well. I have already conquered starting out in teaching, starting over (and over) again teaching in new states, and I feel resilient as a teacher. I guess there is a place between where I am right now where these teachers find themselves. They have already been successful in teaching, but they have opted out of having to survive more.
