Plus after 39 years isn't the pension system worked out that continuing to work as a teacher would be (economically) pointless? I think I've heard teachers say where the pension is let's say 75% (?) of their salary, so if they continue to work, the pension doesn't get paid so effectively they're only getting paid the additional 25%....they should probably fix that to keep qualified teachers in the profession.
