thoughts on retiring - a Saturday morning reflection
Now that I have told all my current students of my decision to retire, word has begun to spread through the school. Somehow not all the faculty has as yet heard, but the administrators have, and so have the counselors. Two of the administrators were in the building when I arrived and the principal arrived as a vice-principal the same year I did. Only one of the counselors has been there as long as I have, but I have worked closely with several of them, so I told them as soon as I had informed my department chair.
Some people want to know why, some offer their own surmises - which are often fairly much on target - but most just offer me congratulations.
I am the 6th senior faculty members leaving this year, after 7 left last year. At least 3 more have already made clear that they will leave after next year.
And my thoughts? For that you have to continue beneath the squiggle.
