To reign, to have written, to have taught.

I've now taught; a day of Special Education at a local high school. Interesting exercise in class discipline, especially when there is one man who really can't stop talking. He eventually was sent to the principals, and a second one had to be made to sit down by looming over him.

The subjects--basic survival Math, English, and US History--were easy. And it felt good to do.

The aide in the classroom thanked me, and said she'd recommend me. And now, I'm teaching on Thursday.

There's not enough work, but the work there is, feels good.

Now, I have taught. High School. And I'll try to continue.

Yay! If you can keep discipline in a special ed class, discipline in any other class should be a breeze.

While working with special ed kids can pose some special challenges, mainstream classes can be more difficult by far. This year, I've been posted in mainstream classes and I really miss the special ed classes.
