@RogersHistory I left teaching last summer after 26 years. Was hoping to teach until I retired but work life balance became unmanageable. Worried about pension contributions but reevaluated my priorities. So many experienced, highly qualified teachers leaving 😩
@samuelcwhart A colleague of mine brought round a lovely ready meal, pre prepared salad and two bottles of beer. So thoughtful and I remember this 23 years later.
@RetirementTales When I started teaching 26 years ago this was a regular thing. The office phoned orders ahead so everything was ready as we arrived. Friday pm always happened to be ‘choosing’ too 🤣 Then there was the crafty cigarette at break in the shed behind my classroom.
@SoVeryBritish Just got back from Valencia. Discovered some black steps outside a church which were so warm from the sun. We returned there several times during our visit for a warm sit down.
