Nice. What type of school / grade do you teach?

I did and hated it. Went back into the workforce making more money with less stress.

Why would someone ever do that?

I wouldn't teach for that.

I did. Took a pay cut but couldn't be happier. I'm fortunate to work in a great charter school - in Louisiana.

Public schools here in Louisiana,if you have not noticed, are about to give their last Death Rattle. Look at Point Coupee Parish.

After I transferred from LSU to NLU, I was a volunteer assistant, and acted as the defensive coordinator, for my high school. Had a blitzes that we called "Rouge" and "Grinnell". Loved doing it, but wanted to make money, and come back to it. Looked up and I was already in my fifties. Figured I'd gotten too old to get back into it.
Yea it was nice to get off at 3 but when you coach, you practice till 5.

Public School in Louisiana and each parish is different.

Why not? I make enough that I don't live paycheck to paycheck, I'll never be rich unless I finish my book and it becomes a best seller
