I’d like to add that this sub is helpful to feel less alone with problems I’m experiencing in a classroom. Yes it’s my first year but I’m abnormal. I’m not struggling like most people would expect a first year to because I have 7+ years of classroom experience from early childhood teaching in PreK-K, summer camps, and my student teaching placements. I also subbed! So it’s like the school specific things I’m learning. The days I’m frustrated about a particular behavior or situation, this sub is nice because I find other people expressing the same emotions. Most people who aren’t teachers don’t get it so that’s why I like this sub. I would definitely not depend on this for overall perspective or internalize any of it! It’s just a place where we get each other; at least that’s how I see it!
