I don't particularly want to be teaching high school, so I can commiserate. Given what I'm seeing about multiple people being forced to go back despite having completed their educations, I may be willing to cut some of you that are older a little bit of slack. It would be an enormous waste of everyone's time to say you didn't have to participate, but maybe you and the others like you can be more like teaching assistants than students.
Understandable. My partner is a doctor and I can't even comprehend what drove him to choosing that career. I just wouldn't want to force you to relearn the same thing over again when you could be expanding your knowledge.
