I'm Not Retiring, And You Can't Make Me!
Are you an "old" teacher?
Are you one of those teachers people think they have the right to ask, "When are you going to retire?"
I had that conversation with a younger 20 something colleague recently.
I wanted to respond to her question by stating, "None of your business.", but I was polite.
I said, "When my mortgage is paid, or I get really, really, tired of this job."
She was persistent.
"That might be soon, the way things are going."
My response, "I love teaching, I love what I do."
She went on.
"Yeah, but... ", I won't bore you with the rest of her sentence , but that's where I ended this inane conversation.
Maybe I'm just being oversensitive, but I believe that just because I am in my 50's.
