School’s out… - srjdsmith - 05-29-2026 Well, so. Today was the last day with students. I have to go Monday and close up my classroom. After 26 years of teaching, retirement drifts in pretty softly. Every year summer vacation ends the school year, but I guess I won’t really feel ‘retired’ until I don’t go back in August. But, on paper, it’s official. Your boy is retired (…from 6th grade social studies. I’ll keep teaching college as an adjunct faculty). I think I’ll hit the range on Tuesday. RE: School’s out… - olfart - 05-29-2026 Congrats on your retirement! Now go forth and multiply... or divide... or whatever the heck you want to do! You're retired! RE: School’s out… - tommag - 05-30-2026 CONGRATULATIONS! The adjunct professor thing sounds like a good idea. In my case working for my friend turned out to be a good thing, it gives me a sense of purpose. Without people depending on me I tend to sit on my patoot and little else. RE: School’s out… - Towtruck - 05-30-2026 Congratulations. 🎉 I retired last year and wished I’d done it sooner. Be prepared to be busier than when you were working!!! Most of all enjoy every minute of it,,, you deserve it!
