I have completed my stint as a long term sub.
It was just over three months in a classroom teaching 4 sections of U.S. history to 11th graders and 1 section of teaching World History to 10th graders.
Well, it was a bumpy ride, I didn't know what I was in for, but I feel better for it.
Especially with the praise I have received about how tough what I was doing actually was.
Some aspects I'll miss, and I have a handful of papers to grade but then I'm done.
Had some ice cream to celebrate :)

Communication is key
As adults one could assume, there I go using a word that I know what the breakdown is, that colleagues would be able to effectively communicate.
We teach out students that they will need to know and have this skill when they get out into the workforce, yet we cannot and do not practice it ourselves.
Being the youngest in my building is not beneficial in this area because I am coming into a group of people that have been working together for numerous years.
I am the odd man out.
While this does not bother me, I am aware that there are cliques within professions, but when it comes down to it how petty are we?
Obviously, very.
