Whislt I might agree with an expand upon Auld Yin's view on the evil that is Unions in teaching (& many other professions for that matter), you couldn't pay me enough money in the world to be a teacher. I suspect, if those that snipe, had to do it themselves, they'd rapidly find themselves coming to a similar point of view.

I think anybody heading into a form of management job should be required to have spent at least one year teaching in the classroom.

Probably because I don't want to get old wondering what if, I realise it's a risk, but I am of the mindset what will be will be. I want to see if there is something different / better/ as good as out there and the holidays I have spent in Canada I have loved. A risk worth taking? I don't know. .... But I don't want to regret not ever knowing.
I do love my job and my school and that potentially is a huge personal wrench for me - not being involved with children and education.

People are different. Some have an itch that has to be scratched, no matter what.
Some people will think that a secure job that they can do with ease is the recipe for a perfect life.
Others will view working the same job, that may have ceased to challenge them, year after year until retirement as profoundly depressing.

I don't want to get to 50, be depressed and think "what if we had got into Canada"... got to follow your dream I think....

What leaves me nonplussed is the idea of a different lifestyle, how is it going to be different?
