I used to be a full time teacher. I work in the oilfield now. I work an 8 days on 6 days off schedule, so I work as a freelance public educator when time allows.

Oilfield, huh....
I'm sure you're bringing down more than a teacher any day...

This is true. It has allowed me to do some things that I had never anticipated being able to do. But, it also makes it very hard to go back to teaching. My adventure in the oilfield was supposed to be temporary, but I went and got used to the money.

Plus the environment is less toxic in the oilfields than a classroom.

Ha! On certain days it is. I'd rather deal with anything in the oilfield than a kid upchucking in the middle of the classroom.

I'm guessing that this is K-12 instruction?

I left full time academia 9 year ago to concentrate on my consulting business. These days, I help out my old Computer Science department at Portland State University when I can. I am teaching two classes this term and am considering a 1 year appointment to begin in the fall.

I will be the first to admit that college teaching has much fewer frustrations than K-12, even if the pay, for most, is similarly meager.

My Mom is a retired teacher. At times, she taught in my school. So every time I did something "wrong" they'd go running to her. She'd come get me and whoop my ass all over the school.
So after awhile, I'd get in trouble and the teachers would spirit me off to some far flung hole in the wall to paddle my ass. Worked for me.

Half the family friends were teachers, the other half were bikers. My Dad's half.
I had a couple girlfriends who were teachers and my wife was an elementary principal's assistant for lots of years.

I've built a number of schools and done a lot of contracts at school while they were in session. I'd rather take a sharp stick in the eye than be a teacher.

I was thinking k-12. But a brother/sister at arms is always welcome!

Let me share a little story. I am the principal of a middle school for students with emotional disabilities and autism spectrum disorder. My first day at this job, I was told by a 7th grade student, I don't care if you're the president of the United States, I'm not doing what you say! then he proceeded to kick me in the shin. It's times like those that keep you humble...
