I get it. 32 years I spent doing 5 show a day. I believe you and other teachers can and should try to insulate yourselves from the external pressures. Teach what you believe in and teach with passion and enthusiasm. As for $$ , I get that too. I started at 10k a year. I ended in 2010 at 87 K. BUT WITHA PENSION that LASTS THE REST OF MY LIFE AND MY WIFE’s. Something to consider. The grass is not greener on the other side. Fight for better pay via your union. Fight for medical until you are 65. We did in my district and got it.
