I've read all of this thread apart from all of Brin's piece, which was far too long for me, and your contribution hit me in the face. If you have a calling, then follow it. After I became ill and had to give up teaching I went on loads of night school classes where I learnt you're never too old to learn and you must never stop learning. You'll be fine.
South Coast Miller, apologies for the length of my post, my longest ever, but it was something that scarred me as a young t.eenage lad going through school. A total utter awful experience that I had to take from a bullying b.astard. In those days they got away with it.

I trust you are/were a caring teacher.
