I fall into the category of ‘won’t leave’ – that said, I could retire but I love teaching; have been doing it for many years. I have found that not only do students know nothing about American history and Civics (a course I once taught in high school) but the ‘new-bee’ profs know nothing as well.
Soon you’ll have universities and colleges populated by know-nothings who will fall for anything the media pushes at them. When my era generation retires, the party is over for freedom of thought and expression, etc. Sometimes it’s all I can do to stay on the job but the good still outweighs the bad so I’ll continue to tough it out.
And, by the way, teaching is not easy (when it’s conducted in the proper manner)….and I don’t play golf or date the cheerleaders!
Many of the rest are "sipping the nectar" on the taxpeasant dime.
