I wish my Principal recognized the Related Arts Teachers as being just as important. We sit through so many faculty meetings discussing "their"...
I had to deal behaviors today that I haven't had all year. I don't know why kids have to be so bad at the end of the year. We have warm weather,...
I think the issue was that they would rather cancel music than pull the mentor teacher's sub. I guess I just need to try to disconnect from some...
I teach music. I realize that canceling my classes is easier than having a grade level class without a sub. However, I've never not had a sub...
I requested to use two personal days several weeks ago, had them approved, and had a sub. I wouldn't even take them but in my district, if you...
