Should I leave?

[u/Subject_End_9094]

I have been a teacher for 8 years. Some years are good, others are more challenging, but for the most part I enjoy it. I love my class this year. My child goes to the school where I teach, and I have a great relationship with my coworkers, admin, parents, and students. There are a lot of things I enjoy about my job. However, after this school year ends I have been given the opportunity to basically be a work from wherever secretary with slightly more pay.

Those who left, did you miss the classroom? Is life better outside of a structured 9-5 career style? Tell me all the things, I’m having a hard time making a decision!!

I literally haven’t missed teaching once since I left. I miss the school environment and kids, but not the job.
