I have 3 young kids at home now and I'm still working. In my district, they offer the option to take a one year sabbatical with the ability to return to work afterwards, though I would probably lose my school. Has anyone done this? Good idea or bad idea?

Still waiting to see if anyone has any thoughts or ideas regarding sabbaticals! If you have taken one or have heard of someone taking one please let me know!

If you have the means to stay at home for a year I would do so. My first career was being a stay at home parent for 17 years before I started this second career of being a teacher.
