I had a 30-year career in the NHS, rising to be a senior health service manager and setting up a stroke unit and spinal clinic. But after Covid, the government wanted me to create as much activity while taking all the money away, and I just ran out of steam. I used up my very best for other people’s kids. There was very little energy left for my own. I never figured out the home/work balance. That had less to do with my dedication to my profession than my need for approval from strangers. I was teaching physics in a school where I'd taught for 20 years full time and I got exhausted. I took early retirement when I was 56. I had a term off and I enjoyed it, but I felt restless. When a part time job came up at Royal Hospital School just near my home in Suffolk I decided to apply and got the job. I've been there for nine years and I've no intention of stopping yet.After years of traveling only during winter, spring and summer breaks, you will love the freedom of 52 whole weeks in which to visit new places and old friends. As a supervisor and principal I loved visiting your interactive classroom. The students were actively involved in learning. You encouraged learning by making the curriculum come alive. My mother said that there was nothing she misses more than the joy of seeing her students every day. She teared up a little as she explained the memories of 30 years of opening a classroom door and finding those smiling faces lined up outside. There’s nothing like that feeling.

10 Things a Retired Teacher Wants You to Know - WeAreTeachers

A part of me relates to all of the above, as this is often how I felt as a nurse (an a pediatric one, for the most part). The thing I most loved about nursing was the immediate impact I had on the lives of my patients and their families (hopefully for the better), but the delivery of that care drained me of so much of my emotional and physical strength. I imagine teaching to be similar in that way. ReplyYet, it’s best if we retire to something not from something. As teachers, we are people with a calling to help others. This doesn’t end when the job ends, although taking care of ourselves can now come first. Be sure to keep in touch with other retired teachers, for emotional and intellectual support and for practical concerns. Once retired, we are no longer in a union. In my area, we formed an association to protect our health insurance. Galway Retired Teachers Association shares the life of retired teachers, sharing events, lunch, reunions, and more.

School’s Out Forever: Reflections of a Retired Teacher School’s Out Forever: Reflections of a Retired Teacher

We are enjoying our life in Wales. and getting organised slowly, very slowly. Its almost as though we're recovering from all the stress of selling and buying.. I haven't given up on this blog, just been quietly and very slowly doing my new project, which is this very colourful blanket. Below is the final tally of the books I read each month and the grand total is 45 books read. Not the one hundred that I aimed for, not even the halfway point ... a sad years reading in my opinion and I know I can do better. We, husband,daughter and I, do the Wordle everyday. We nearly lost my husband with the 'snafu' one!! He was fuming! Quordle is good fun, 4 words in 9 guesses.There was one occasion the defence was talking to him... I had this real desire to walk up and do something horrible to him because of the callous way he treated my brother and the way he used him as some kind of object to get his ends. All the things that were precious to Peter, he had robbed him of.” Another 27% raised concerns about stress and workload with a further 15% feeling that, as an older teacher, they would be unable to give the children in their care the very best education that they deserved.

But I digress. Let me answer the original question, "Why middle school?" Middle schoolers have open minds. They are still finding their voices and discovering their preferences and opinions on everything from their own behavior and tolerances to the behavior of others in our society. They are open to hearing opposing viewpoints, open to accepting alternative lifestyles, and open to discussing their newly-formed opinions. They are the KEY to societal change in our world because they truly ARE the future. As their teacher, I can guide them to make educated choices and to judge situations based not on the opinions of others, but on their own educated opinions. After a while, wanting to do something became more important to me. I didn't want the pressure of full time headship or even supply teaching. I wanted to be involved in something else and use my experience and skills, but I didn't want to do what I'd done before. There’s no reason this shouldn’t happen with other careers, but at the moment, it’s just teaching that is standing up and yelling, ‘come on: you’re over 50 – come and do this!’” said Kellaway.

The teacher mailed it to him after all these years. Courtesy Austin HuttonDetective Sergeant Richard Earl is one of only two people to have read all of Peter’s journals. “I felt I got to know Peter and as if I could hear his voice really clearly, and I have no doubt he was in love. He and Ben shared a bed and had a celibate relationship. They were married in all but name and Peter felt he’d found a life-long partner.” When Maria Yelle commented on his post, Brittain remembered her right away and posted five pictures of drawings she’d made for him when she was his student in 1986. With only 5% who know that they can retire at their chosen age, it is clear that teachers haven’t already thought about the answers to these questions.
