In all my time substitute teaching, I only regretted taking one job. It was when the current seniors were 5th graders. I was pre-scheduled to fill in for Mrs. Bailey, and I woke up feeling terrible. The problem was that I'd never called in sick before. I didn't even know how to do that as a sub. So I did the job, knowing I was ill-equipped to handle shenanigans. If you've ever subbed in a fifth grade classroom before, you know that's not good. Fortunately the free periods were strategically spaced. I told myself if I could just make it to third period, I could get out. I don't know if the kids sensed weakness, but they were AMAZING. I made it to third period. Then I made it to sixth period. Then I made it to the end of the day. I still regret coming in because who knows how contagious I was, but to this day I'm grateful for how accommodating and disciplined those kids were. When I couldn't be at my best, they covered me. Tonight ,I remember that experience as I look on my empty library. I won't be repeating my mistake of coming in too sick to teach. But as we take instruction online, I will need my students to be as responsible and self-motivated as they were seven years ago. I believe we can do it. I miss you already. See you soon. We'll be in touch sooner.
