Too much bullying and ageism by Administration for her to work any longer. She has been stoic so far, but I expect tears tonight.
She submitted all final documents to the State Pension System last week, delivered her Notice Of Retirement to HR yesterday afternoon, and will be informing select coworkers today.
A 70yo friend retired from teaching a yr ago and was still too passionate about EDU and 'students' to rest easily, so took up a PT teaching role at a local private k-12. 3 days / week, (shortened hours) very VERY happy and engaged, and likes the administration and staff.
While I’m sad for the reason I hope this is the start of an exciting new chapter.

And much respect to your wife for putting up with so much PC garbage in the past dozen or so years! Yes, she must be a true stoic!

Thanks to all of you for your good wishes.
p.s. I figured out how Multi Quote works. Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks!
Teachers here haven't worked for a year and a half while still getting full pay from the taxpayers. You can imagine what I think of teachers.
What makes you think CA teachers aren't working? Before I left California last year I met lots of students at the park and dog park who were doing online classes. Who do you think was teaching those classes? Same with a college professor I know (state university).
Anyway like another poster said this is a happy thread and yes take his advice.
Congrats to the happy couple! May you enjoy your retirement years to the fullest!
Special needs student ? Your wife is Very Special, she truly has a gift !

During her 27 years of working with Special Needs Elementary Students she was able to get 3 non-verbal Autistic students to start speaking.
One boy's first words were "Shut-up Fool"
The irony is that once they started talking they would never stop. I guess they had years of pent up thoughts to convey.
