23 kids isn't so bad!

Well, I made it through 2 days of school with 6 new students. It really hasn't been so bad. The biggest obstacle is the fact that teachers teach differently. Even if you are in the same grade level, how you teach can be totally different from each other. So, I've had to help get the new students used to the way I teach and used to what I expect. Having 23 students is not that bad. I think about the days I used to sub--there could be up to 35 kids in a classroom! I don't know how teachers did it back then. One thing that was different, however, is the requirements for teachers. Back then, the FCATs were not as important as they are today. I'd rather have FCATs as we do today than to have 35 students!
