Getting out

I told my principal that this is my last year of teaching. He told me they didn't want me to go but respected my position. I've clued him in on everything that's been going on since I've had to have substitutes and not been myself for a long time. It's sad, but I really think it's the right decision. I guess I'm a weird teacher because I'll miss my kids the most. It's so fun to watch them grow and get to know them through the years. Maybe it's because I teach the smart kids?
