This is a photo of the last 5th grade classroom
I worked as I have decided to really, really retire.
There are no desks or chairs in this room
as this particular portable classroom and nine others like it are destined for
the landfill over the summer. The students will return in September to two new modern multi-story
classrooms with all the new amenities that the state requires.
There
will be parts of the job I'll miss: The teachers and staff with whom I'm on a first name
basis and even more than a few students that I recognize by sight if not by name.
And so without further ado, the
lights are off, classroom door is locked and the key returned to the school
office...

Thanks for posting all these years Mark. I just started reading your blog and also subbing myself a few weeks ago.
What made you decide to retire?
Thanks fkr dropping in. Good luck with your subbing. Hope some of my experiences help you with yours...Mark
Just getting old and a bit tired at age 7 (...decades)
Enjoy your retirement! I started reading your blog when I started subbing several years ago. I'm about to enter my third year of full-time teaching, and I still do things I read here (like "put a wet paper towel on it"). God bless
Glad to be of assistance, Whitney. Good luck with your career

I'm almost 70yrs old and decided to spend my time with other pursuits that I enjoy.
Goodbyes are typically sad, but there are memories and good times to cherish!
