In the Real World

I have been substitute teaching since I graduated last May. I really enjoy going into a new classroom and new schools every day. It can be a bit challenging at times because you can get the "Oh, good it's a sub" look. After a few minutes, the class realizes that I will reinforce the rules that are set in place and they can't get away with anything. I feel that the most important thing you can give to the students is respect. Very rarely do I ever encounter a disrespectful student. I can't wait for my own classroom!
