Mr. McClung

This post was really interesting to read. I try to get all the advice i can about how to make through the first year of teaching alive, and his post had some very inspirational advice. He did not let the negative critisism from his other employees get him down and he did not try to do things the way they wanted him to. His message in this was to not sweat the small stuff and dont try to plan every detail to perfection, because nothing will ever go as planned. Enjoy your class and get to know them because they are what make teaching and learning more rewarding than actually trying to go with the plan. The students learn from the teachers but the teachers learn from the studetns as well and that is what makes an excellent teacher. His words and advice is something i will carry with me and always remember when i start my teaching career.
