Comments From A Retired Teacher

She didn't want to retire, but neither did she want to put up with the continued downward spiral that is public education:

I am retiring from teaching.
I am 63.
I should be working a few more years, but honestly I just can't.
I am tired of change for the sake of change.
I'm tired of administrators dismissing the work I do and have done for nearly 20 years, and celebrating the work of others.
I'm tired of being invisible.
I'm just tired.

Read the whole thing to find out why she's so tired.
