Sorry you feel that way..no you were not the one that was clueless.
I was just being honest with you. That is what I do. Everyone is idealistic when they first come into teaching, but if you don't change your views you won't survive. Sorry for the reality check.
This isn't a "silly" site, actually I find it quite useful.
That is very, very sweet. I am so glad you are fitting in well! A girl I went to high school with is an eye doctor up there in Henderson. Barbara Newcome
School was crazy, as usual. How was your first day? What grade levels are you teaching?
Good deal! things are crazy around here!!!
Me too, school is starting back up. We have an orientation tomorrow. I hope you have a really good year. Sounds like you are working with some really great people.
