I retired about a year and a half ago with 27 years of service in. Since I’m prone to making lists, I’ll list the reasons I knew it was time…
1. Admin has lost its respect for their teachers. It’s all lip service from them.
2. Parents have become unreasonable. The accommodations and unrealistic suggestions for their child makes no sense.
3. The everybody wins scenario. This is not real life.
4. The “I am, therefore I get.” Doesn’t work for me.
5. Not being able to fail kids, even though that would be the best possible thing for them.
6. The extra work expected of me. The district was great at saying they wouldn’t add things without taking stuff away. More programs to complete, more in depth IEP’s, GIEP’s, 504’s, and ILP’s, new computer programs on a moments notice were ridiculous…nothing was taken away.
7. The last two principals I had were on the Autism spectrum and didn’t run the building, the parents and students did.
8. The health issues of every student. No peanut butter, carpet, autism, loud noises, can’t go outside, no chocolate, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, ODD, we’re off the board.
9. The double standard…If a student did something wrong it was my fault. If they did something right, I had no involvement in successes.
10. I couldn’t say I was a teacher with pride anymore.
11. The ridiculous social agendas schools are adopting. I have five transgendered students the year I retired. I’m ok with what they want to be. I don’t want to counsel them about it.
12. The future plan to make bathrooms unisex.
13. I wasn’t happy going to work any longer.
These are the main reasons. I didn’t leave because of the kids. They were the best part of my job. All the extra’s just became to much. I felt like I was drowning. I came say retirement has been fantastic!
I wanted to do 30 years, but just couldn’t, for my own self preservation. I had to figure out how I could do it; money and insurance, and I made it work. Good luck to you. If you don’t want to be there, find something else to do. Life it to short to be unhappy. You get one shot. Make it count. ❤️❤️

GES, I felt the same frustration you are currently feeling. For 24 years I loved being a teacher, making a difference, and putting my all in every day. The last three or so years I cried at least two or three days a week going in and leaving the building. I would constantly ask myself on the way in, “How am I going to do this today?” When I notified my district in February that I was retiring (even though I knew by November) I taught and behaved the way that I knew was best for kids. Also, I told my principal that since I was retiring I would not be completing any new programs, writing my learning objectives for the state, joining any committees, attending ridiculous meetings or in-service days, and wouldn’t be writing up an observation rubric. He gave me no flack about it. He knew I would tear him apart if he did. That’s where I was emotionally. I told him my final year was going to be about the kids, not jumping through all the district hoops anymore. It was a great year. I could almost remember why I became a teacher. Good luck in making the difficult decision to stay or retire. As I stated above several times…try to remember that life is not a “do over.” You get one chance to make it count. ❤️❤️
When you don’t like it anymore and you dread going to work…it’s time

This is extremely helpful. I found myself checking off a lot of things on your list.
Good. I’m glad it was helpful. I created a version of this list when I considered retiring. It’s not an easy decision. Being a teacher says a lot about who that person is and an identity; or use to. I’m proud of the job I did as a teacher. I wanted to leave my reputation in tact. I was starting to become a teacher I didn’t like. When I was a young teacher, master teachers told me that I would know when it was time to leave. I never knew what they meant until right before I retired. I’ve had a lot of students over the years. I still keep in touch with many. My mail lady is a former student!!
Considering it. It’s only my third year with my own classroom but I’m definitely losing the passion. I’ll be taking a maternity leave in a couple of months and I’m not sure if I’ll be back.

I’ve been doing this for 10 years now and I don’t think I have another year in me.
It is definitely my time to transition out in May. I'm over being stressed out to the point of needing a sleep aid every night now. Students have no accountability and they are disrespectful. Parents belive their child over the teacher now too. Admin micromanage. This is my 5th and final year in the classroom. I guess I'm a statistic but I don't gaf!

I feel like at this point it is more important to switch to some sort of leadership role to make sure schools are more sustainable and better equipped for equity and success.
The signs that it's time to move on from teaching can be subtle or overt. It might be a gradual loss of passion, a feeling of stagnation, or a growing sense that your skills and talents could be better better used elsewhere.
I have 29 years in STRS (CA), and will be 65 in March so I can consider it without losing medical insurance. I still enjoy my job, although I am frustrated by several of the items on Pennsylvania Middle School 1's list. My principal told me about a program in CA called the Williams Act by which teachers who meet the requirements (55 and older, 10+ years of experience, participating district,...) can work at least 50% and get a full year's credit in STRS. I checked it out and I'd also get full benefits. I'm thinking I'll try it for a year (maybe more :-) ) to transition into retirement. I'd never heard of it so thought some of you may not have either. Working part time with full benefits and a full year credit for retirement feels too good to pass up.

Is there any more information you can give on the program?
