Is it okay for other teachers/staff members to ask questions about my age/retirement plans? Occasionally colleagues / my department chair ask me my age & retirement plans and I don’t plan on it soon.

If someone asks me, I just start with, “Well, when that day eventually comes, I plan to...” Let them figure out when “eventually “ means!

I am a 35 year veteran special ed teacher so it is clear I meet retirement age. Special Ed teachers are very hard to find in Oklahoma. Retirement plans are alluded to every spring with myself and other sped teachers, not as ageism but out of nervousness. I don’t feel like anyone is trying to get rid of us rather keeping their fingers crossed that this is t the year. I hope to get to 40 years unless something major changes.
