KD- Go look at it. what do have to lose? You're in the
enviable position of ultimate power- if you don't want to do
this job, then just walk out. It won't change your life, and
the bills will still be paid.
The fact that you are looking at this position and considering
it makes me think that perhaps you are not through with your
teaching career.
So go look it over.
Good luck and let us know what you see there.
