Ouch

Did you know substitute teaching in a choir class the first day back from Christmas break is a painful experience?

The teacher hasn't had time to put new music in the folder. The kids really aren't ready to be back yet. And in the case of one choir, they don't get new music anyway, the class ends in two weeks. And with no final except a Christmas concert, they have no motivation to be there.

At least the kids all came. And came back after they used the bathroom.

I did have one student tell me, "I'm glad it's you today. I wish it could always be you here."
