 I’m curious how school teachers have stayed school teachers for decades. The ridiculous changes and the craziness would have driven me away from that career very quickly. Just watching my kids go through public school was enough. #asknostr #grownostr 
 Dont know from personal experience, but i have heard teachers talk about "only x number of years before i'm elegible for Teacher Retirement funds". 
 Pensions might be part of it, but most teachers I’ve met just care more than the average person.

I wonder if it’s like artists who continue to perform live. If it goes well, that rush of joy is like nothing else and you keep going back for more.
