I am a very happy part time teacher who has worked for many years in the same school. I've stayed because I love it. It's an amazing school, I love my colleagues, the pupils and parents. Just in the last couple of years though I've thought it would be nice to do something else just for a little while as a change.
Anyway, DP has just told me that she has been offered a position abroad for a year. It's a country we both love and have lived in before. I desperately want to go with her as does Dd.
So, I am going to ask my HT whether he is prepared to hold my job open for me for the year. Obviously I have no idea what he will say and he may well say no which I would understand.
The question is do you think I would be unreasonable to go anyway and give up my much loved job, probaby forever or would you stay here and keep the job? There is an option for DP to sort of commute but we'd rather be together as a family.
