The only part that is slightly pleasurable for a teacher, who is so near the grave they are forced to take a sick day, is the thought of someone else having to control their class. You know, the class who made them ill in the first place.
It was on a sick day that I wrote The Substitute Teacher. The book is currently on promotion on Amazon to download for free from the 20th to 24th November 2016.
Harriet is a practicisng teacher and author and sites the pupils in her class as her biggest assets. Follow her on Twitter @missksadventure.
Thanks for stopping by the blog, Becky. We're sure you're not alone with your thoughts!
I whole heartedly agree with this.... And the fear that what you need them to do they wont and then you have to squeeze even more in when you return!! Or is that just me????
