I survived this week. I don't think I want to work that many days with the Middle School. I am sure I do not want to work on Friday. There must have been something in the air on Friday the kids were crazy! Not just the class that I had but all of them. I spoke to several teachers that said their kids were crazy too. I am obviously not cut out for the free roaming arts and craft classes. Maybe it is March Madness? Of course I am not sure the kids I had were that in to basketball. It could be some other sort of madness. I did not have as much trouble out of the Exceptional Childrens'(behavior challenged and learning disabled) classses as I did with this art class. Oddly enough, the EC kids gave me more respect and to me they tried harder to do well. I have worked in that class several times.
Working as a substitute has given me new insight into my own children. I have also gained new appreciation for my own kids. After working with these kids, my kids are a breeze. Maybe this is Gods' way of telling me to lighten up on my own kids. He may also be reminding me to appreciate what I have too. I guess we all need those reminders from time to time.
