A friend of mine who retired from teaching at a high school does it. He has a different view than most. He feels it is a lot easier than being a regular teacher. All he has to do is focus on the class and does not have to deal with the administration. Perhaps because he has a way with teenagers, he had a lot of life adventures before teaching that seems to mesmerize high schools when he talks about them.
With the school shutdown I am a little concerned for him now. He retired based on his SS + pension + being able to do some substitute teaching. He was in high demand in the county, getting requests practically every day. Now that he last option is gone I am not sure how much it will impact him.
