What was I thinking when I decided teaching English was a fantastic idea? There is nothing like having 41 (yes that's how many students are in my 9th grade floating block--and that's just one class!) pairs of shoes trampling on you for an entire 98 minutes! My post will come this weekend but I just had to scream...WHAT WAS I THINKING...before I go figure out how to address these multiple issues tomorrow instead of actually teaching what I planned. Instead, I must teach them what they should already know about respect, etc. I can't change the world but I sure can control mine!

you have my utmost respect!
After watching the movie Freedom Writers last weekend, I feel your pain!
I hope you are rewarded for your challenging work!

I can't say I know what you are going through, but I tried substitute teaching for a couple of months and decided it was not for me. You have my respect.
