I don't believe I would leave teaching at first, but the only advice I could think of to tell my replacement is that you truly have to have patience with the kids we have here at the alternative school. I have no regrets of the time I taught here and enjoyed every minute of it, because of the lives of students I have seen changed over the years of my tenure.
I agree, patience is the key. If you get upset, or frustated the students pick up on your mood really fast. Sometimes it is really hard to keep your cool, even in a regular school. But all good things do come to those who wait. I also wonder if I would leave immediatly- don't know unitl it happens!
