Thank you for your insights. However, I came to this board for advice
not criticism and for the focus to switch from my question to being
battered for not capitalizing, and being made fun of for subbing only
5 times. I will inform you MS. Veteran Teacher, that sub work is slow
because of the freeze. Principals are not hiring subs right now. I
also have a 4.0 and three masters degrees and am Up to date on whats
going on in the classroom today. So please if you can offer advice ,
do not ridicule the young new teachers.
Any one else have any information on the SEIT profession. Thank you!
