My wife and I are in the stage of life where we are making decisions for at least the next few years of our life. Now that I am in my second year of teaching and I like the school that I am in. We have decided to settle in and start our family.
While doing this we have decided to purchase a house which has raised a few questions about where we should live.
Being that I teach in a very small school in a very small town personal life and school life is very easy to cross. Right now live in another small town about ten miles away and that has really helped me to keep these two lives some what more separated.
Here are some of the pros and cons got each that we have thought of.
Pros of living where I teach:
Live close to work.
Get to know students outside of school.
Future children live in same town that I teach in.
Get to know community members and other teachers better.
Cons to living where I teach:
People have too easy acces to bring work into every other aspect of my life.
I am Mr. Gardner in everything I do.
