Dear Teaching: I want a Divorce: P.S. It's you, not me

One person's look at a 20-year relationship with the teaching career and all of its ups and downs. Through all of the highs and lows, what always made it worth it, was the "kids," regardless of their age, who shared the classroom and the heart of the teacher. The challenges and obstacles disappeared when it was just her and her kids. The conversations shared, the dreams supported, the lives connected, all pushed her to keep fighting the good fight and give everything she had to give. And she did this all for twenty years, but it came at a price that eventually became too high to pay and she had to walk away from the only life she had ever known and start over.
