As it was, I had a baby face and looked younger than some of the seniors, but since I <i>was</i> so young, sometimes it worked to my advantage. The seventh grade girls had crushes on me (and therefore would behave) and the older kids all wanted to "be cool" around me. I didn't have any problems, except for some teachers who thought I was a student sitting at the desk and would ask where the teacher was.<br /><br />Oh...and congrats on your win over at Julie Luek's blog. My recommendation is the Anne Lamott book. I really enjoyed your post and hope to come by this way again during my online meanderings.<br /><br /><a title="Follow My Writer's Blog" href="http://mlswift.me" rel="nofollow">M.L.

Good suggestion about keeping a power point available.to use just-in-case.

I get benefits through my wife, so my part-time teaching job isn't really necessary (and I make similar money through subbing). I actually like when they play "sink the sub." <br /><br />No matter what, though...bring photos (or even better, a powerpoint presentation) on your years in Indonesia as an emergency. American kids know very little about the East, and your experiences could keep any class contained. <br /><br />SInk the sub. I love it when they try that...Plumbeddownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922056608873107130noreply@blogger.com
