If you ever want to be completely humiliated, do the following:
* Spend hours preparing for a sub.
* Take a day off to spend time with friends and family...and to graduate.
* Go to school on Sunday to get ready for the next week.
* Read a letter from your sub where you and your skills/abilities as a teacher are ripped to shreds explicitly, numerous times.
* Cry for 2-3 hours and feel on the verge of tears the rest of the day.
* Spend an hour preparing a whole new behavior plan.
* Listen to several others, on Monday morning, describe the day to you. How the sub cried. How the other teachers had to yell at my kids. How my classroom needs more structure.
* Go explain new behavior plan to principal and cry in her office.
* Cry in front of your first class when you explain how very disappointed you are.
* Avoid lunch so you don't have to see the looks all the other teachers give you.
* Know that you have 11 more days to wash, rinse, and repeat.

I'm sorry you had such a horrible day. But...only 11 left! That's good news. Then you can come back to Minnesota and we'll hang out and make fun of people together. :)
