I am retiring before I had planned. Why should I continue this chapter of my life when I am not valued by my community? There is another world waiting for me to make a contribution. On the other hand, will someone younger be ready for the challenge? Will they be ready to sacrifice their personal life for the greater good of students, or will they do a half-way job while the students suffer? Will my grandchild get the education that my children did, or will she have to go to a private school to ensure her success in a world where teachers are no longer valued? The end is uncertain.
