It is true in my experience as well. Last year, two years before I planned to retire, I was meeting for an evaluation with my Principal. As I listened to him talk I just knew I couldn't do it. I retired right there. I had one of the best years ever with my special education kids, but I couldn't do what the administration was planning for the next year. I did get an excellent rating so it wasn't that I was being driven out, I just didn't agree that where he was going with education was somewhere I could tolerate.
