Associate Senior Title in Education, this title is a working career milestone for many teachers. However, in the face of the conventional rule that female teachers retire at the age of 55, teachers with deputy senior titles are entangled. They are faced with an important decision: whether to retire at age 55 or continue to work until the statutory retirement age of 60. This decision is not only about their personal life plans, but also about the allocation of resources in the school and the promotion opportunities of young teachers.
In the past two years, the school still has some preferential policies for retired teachers. For example, a mathematics teacher who was already full of workload chose to leave the front line early and transfer to work in the teaching affairs department, which reduced the work pressure. Another teacher was struggling with whether to postpone his retirement and finally decided to retire. Although reluctant to leave school, he believes that after retirement, he can live a regular life, maintain a young mind, avoid being disconnected from the outside world, and have a more liberal financial situation. After careful consideration, he decided that the preferential treatment of teachers who were about to retire was limited, and the situation he would face after the postponement of retirement might not change much, so he chose to retire. After retirement, he will continue to be employed by the school, continuing to teach until the graduating class of students, and then turn around to face a new chapter in his retirement life.
But for teachers with associate senior titles, the question of whether to return or not to retreat has become a complicating issue. A colleague pointed out that as a teacher with a deputy senior title, he must retire, and if he retires, he will only receive a small amount of salary. If you don't retire, you will be jealous of all your former colleagues. Who wouldn't hold a grudge against a teacher with a deputy senior title if they don't retire and hinder the promotion opportunities of other young teachers?However, teachers with the rank of Deputy Senior also know that, according to the document, female teachers with the title of Deputy Senior are required to retire at the age of 60 and that if they want to retire at the age of 55, they must apply for and be approved. No one has the right to force them to retire, let alone stop paying their salaries. Although such a policy exists, if they delay retirement, they will still need to take on full workload. A colleague once shared his experience of feeling that at the age of 53, he could no longer afford to take on 12 math lessons a week. Although the school reduced his workload to six classes per week, due to menopause, he did not have a good rest in the evening, and he could not lift his spirits in class the next day. For female teachers, retiring at the age of 55 gives young people more opportunities and is also beneficial to their physical and mental health. Of course, it is okay not to retire according to the regulations, but the workload cannot be reduced, and in addition, as teachers with deputy senior titles, they should also play a greater role. It would be a good thing if the school leaders could be considerate of the teachers who have been retired, give them certain tasks in teaching, research, and mentoring, and conduct regular assessments, so as to give full play to their rich educational experience. Young teachers should also learn more from old teachers, don't think that they suffer just because they have more courses and good test scores, after all, engaging in education is a complex process, which requires research methods, not just relying on time and consumption to train, young people still need to learn more, and only after ten years of work can they say that they have experience.
Although I am well aware that delaying retirement for five years, just counting these five years, may get about 300,000 more wages. And as the length of service increases and wages increase, the pension will increase accordingly. I also figured it out and didn't bother anymore, after all, after a lifetime of working in a job, retirement is easy. Money is not that important to me, saving a little money is enough. It doesn't matter what other people think or think, the most important thing is my own health. Therefore, I decided to retire at the age of 55 and live my own regular and free life. In addition, it is also necessary to make more space for young people, who are the future of society, and they need more opportunities and space for development.
In conclusion, teachers with the title of deputy senior are faced with an important decision on whether to retire at the age of 55, as required. Delaying retirement may bring financial benefits, but it also requires more work stress. It is necessary to maintain a regular life after retirement, pay attention to physical and mental health, and give more room for young people to develop. Ultimately, the individual's decision will depend on their own circumstances, such as family burdens and personal health conditions. I believe that every teacher will make the best choice for themselves and contribute to their own future and the development of the younger generation.
