I was in such a rocky place that there was not getting through it and coming out ahead--it would have taken just that sort of person to make it through being a first year music teacher in the situation where I found myself. I just don\'t have those kinds of skills. But then my story was pretty outrageous and that\'s why I chronicled it on the blog. www.ChoirTeacherBlues.blogspot.com This year I am not a choir teacher. I had shoulder surgery. I don\'t know if I will ever be able to go back. The social leadership skills are often the key.

I can't wait to read all of the conversations. It's funny how people can be tossed into jobs without really knowing what to expect. Great idea, Joel. I can’t wait to read all of the conversations.

I'm in my seventh year of teaching, and, after about 5 years of things going really well for me in the classroom, this year I just had a tough group of kids that I haven't found a complete management success for yet. Everything works for some but not all, and how it works with some comes out very inconsistently. I look forward to keeping up with the series. This sounds great!

I appreciate your positive enthusiasm and dedication to doing what's best for kids while keeping the overall health of the teacher intact. Great insights ... your strength is how reflective you are about your own teaching. I'm a veteran mom (22 years in this field) .... and a newbie teacher (4 years in this field). I'm looking forward to the discussions on classroom management, and will pass your site on to my daughter, who will be a new high school English teacher next year!
