But in those 36 years have taught several other things as assigned- computers, reading, social studies, PE, 3rd, 4th, 5th grades math and reading interventionist. I did TRY to retire but missed teaching and was basically in the classroom long term subbing most of the retired year. I was asked back and have taught Math and some reading on a part-time basis.
