I miss teaching grade 8 nearly every day of my retired life Some days I even cry about the missing I loved my students Truly loved them, maybe even beyond what many of my colleagues felt about those never-boring adolescents I am not sure they ever knew my feelings for them although I suppose most did And still, and forever, I miss the teaching of them I dream this love will follow me into infinity I know it will not, but that is what hope is forbrPS It was Earth Science, grade eight Earth Science I gave my heart in the making of that science part of their lives And those children gave back more than I ever could give

I I'm on a leave And this made me miss teaching I miss the near-daily visits before the start of school by that student who is still figuring out his identity, while quietly resenting the loss of my prep time

Growing up, I dreamed of being a teacher In college, I had a secondary ed professor scare me off of going into education But, man, you make me ache for a career I never had <3

Think the slip-up, if it really was that, only makes this even more enjoyable

Wonderful, especially in these isolated times

This is my first year back in the "classroom" after a 5 year hiatus ,as I teach online I never thought I would miss the smells of school or the sounds of children discussing assignments with each other I'm thankful to be able to make a difference, but it comes at such a high personal cost

Love this As a teacher who is battling the third-school-year-in-a-pandemic doldrums, this hit at a sweet spot to remind me of why we stay Thank you!

I have been retired for over 8 years now, and the things that Taylor misses, I miss too But I have thought about it a lot, and it is a lot like leaving the party when you are still having fun Better to have things you miss than to be like those teachers I have known that stayed too long
