I wish I could just do what I was hired to do, teach. I do hate to hear about your administration. I have a couple like that but lucky there are three more. They are suppose to be assigned to the different grade levels but we all know who will do something and we use them. I love your saying “it must be in your heart to help others succeed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643649665460094240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-4248073545958220222012-10-15T09:14:49.261-04:002012-10-15T09:14:49.261-04:00Tony, I TOTALLY GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

It makes you accountable, plus students can sense when you're not passionate about what you're teaching. The productivity of the teacher weighs heavily on the student as well. That is why I stay in my lane. Although I am a substitute teacher, I have been blessed enough to teach in my field before Cosmetology, which is Accounting/math. When I first started subbing in 2008, that would be all of the classes that I would get. Because I could explain the concept to the students, I grabbed their attention, plus they learned something from that day, instead of it being just a "fun day" because the teacher's out. So, I concur with your statement. Teaching is a craft, not a job. In my opinion, job is an acronym for Just Over Broke!! My name is Courtney Davis, and I approve this message!
