one of my friends had ilness in the family that was going to take a lot of her focus so she took off the year from teaching
one of my friends was having a difficult pregnancy and didn’t know how consistent she could be so she took the year off of teaching
one of my friends had a child who was out of school and would need attention so she took the year off of teaching.
these were all teachers who live paycheck to aycheck but could NOT imagine starting a year with half a head. Hahsem found them ways to pay their bills.
those are real teachers.
