The first question I asked myself when I left the classroom was:
What do I really have to offer outside education?
It’s honest — and vulnerable — and many teachers ask it, too.

When I lost my teaching position in July, I knew I needed a hiatus from public and public charter school education.
Not out of bitterness — but clarity.
Right now, autonomous and independent school models are the only spaces that feel sustainable to me.

This past July marked my second exit from public education.
The first was in 1999 and lasted 18 years.
Looking back, both departures shared the same pattern: mounting stress, shrinking self-care, and eventually, my health paying the price.

Does that mean that the next administration can terminate every executive order he made while suffering dementia?
Trump said on Friday that he's terminating all executive orders allegedly signed by former President Joe Biden using an autopen.

Because we’re all swimming in cash and the GOP is about lowering the cost of living.

🧵 I follow several teacher-transition pages, and one question shows up more than any other:
“How do I know when it’s time to make a change?”
As a former teacher, I’ve asked it too.
Change doesn’t always mean leaving education — sometimes it just means finding a place where you can thrive.

Teachers thrive when systems work with them, not around them.
Time for collaboration. Real teacher voice. Workload that matches resources.
Systemic support isn’t glamorous—but it’s how sustainability happens.

Teacher burnout is one of the most discussed — and least unpacked — challenges in education.
We talk about stress, workload, and pay — and all of that matters deeply. But the heart of sustainability goes deeper.
