I’ve been a corporate instructional designer for 25 years. Teachers leaving education for corporate is all over LinkedIn right now. The company I’m currently working at has a young ID who is telling me she just left education for corporate. They are going back to school to get Instructional Design degrees. I’ve never felt called to teaching kids, only adults, but I’ve always been happy to know there were people that are. It saddens me that the best teachers are the ones that are probably leaving leaving us with the worst ones to teach our kids. If you’re u can homeschool you should. The money spent on clothes, meals, transportation, extra curriculars for the kids and parent that homeschools is a good portion of that parent’s salary. If you’re already blessed to be a stay at home mom consider doing it for just one year commit to that knowing you can always send them back to school. Don’t worry about how they will test because they will test better than their peers guaranteed.
