my wife will be starting her 20th year teaching kindergarten this fall
i don't know how many more years she has in her as it seems to get harder and harder each year. i think she also might top $60k this year!  Previous Message
My question is why on earth do you do it?
Many more hours, much much lower pay and a general overall level of high stress. In fact I would argue being around a number of teachers this past year I would say I didn’t find many I would consider happy. (Yes I know that logic is skewed)
Yes this question is loaded in a way for my own benefit as the idea is being volleyed about.
