[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 77540, member: 1967"] Oh Abbey, I'm so sorry. Can't you get paid medical leave for a mental health issue like anxiety? Will this affect a pension? I know that private schools are different than public school systems when it comes to things like health benefits and retirement pensions. I tutor for extra money and it is very lucrative. Certified teachers where I live get anywhere from $40 an hour and up for a one to one session. I know one teacher that left teaching and started a tutoring service from her home. She has appointments lined up from 3 to 8 every day of the week (she tutors chemistry and physics). She does very well for herself. Private tutoring here pays much better than the chain tutoring places. I laughed when I checked with one well known chain and they said that they paid $15 an hour. I don't know how they can get any qualified tutors at that pay rate. If money is not an issue, then I would say just enjoy life and concentrate on getting better. Maybe you could return to teaching in another school eventually if you find that you miss it. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
