I like my job and I like teaching. I feel badly when I have to have a substitute. Most of the substitutes we have are parents who would like to help. There are very few that are certified teachers. They don't have the training to know how to control a roomful of students. It's a lot more work than one would think. I have very specific routines and procedures that help our day to run smoothly. The students get used to the way the day is going to flow when I am there. The best behaved classes can only handle a few days where the routine is abnormal before they start having troubles.
Next week is only a 2 day week because Thanksgiving break begins on Wednesday. I was going to try to go back to school, but yesterday I decided not to. Those two days give me two weeks rest from surgery. Breaking that up would probably extend my recovery time unnecessarily. Everybody’s happy with my decision, my husband, my mom, my principal, my fellow teachers. They didn’t think I should go back to work so early. I think I would have been fine, but I won’t turn down 2 extra days of recuperation.
