If that is your dream job, then take this time to go back to school, be a real teacher by getting certified (you'll double your salary with a masters and some coaching pay). If you don't know, start applying for more jobs, move to a larger city, or go learn a trade.

Start doing shite for yourself and show some responsibility. Get a job with a future - or go back to school/a trade. My kids (close to your age) have their own insurance - and not on mine. When I was your age, I would have been embarrassed to even ask my parents about that - even if it was available. This whole conversation is kinda childish and selfish. Grow up and move on with your life.

So much wisdom in these two posts. The reliance on the parent's insurance really rubs be wrong. For starters, like you said at his age it is past time to become a grown-up. When I was his age, I was 7 years into the career from which I will retire in a couple of years.

Going beyond that, he might really want to check into that 'get added to my parents policy' again. Obamacare requires insurers to offer dependent coverage until a child reaches 26. Unless their policy is unusually generous, he just aged out.

Screw moving back in with your parents and asking to get back on their insurance. At that age, it's time to move on with your life and take 100% financial responsibility for yourself. If you can't make enough at small little 1A school to pay your own living expenses then don't do it. I promise you Mom and Dad don't want you back under their roof - they want you to provide for yourself and call or come visit every once in a while.
