I stayed and got a special ed certificate in the learning handicapp area but was hired in regular ed.
Children need great teachers. Follow your heart and passion and do what you love to do in this life!
Thanks for the encouraging words! I love hearing from all the retired teachers. I also love that many of you stayed in the profession beyond your "thirty years"
