You already teach math good.

Today I was informing my kiddos that I would not be at school for the next 2 days. Groans followed with, "WHY!?!?!?!"
Me: "Cause I am going to a class to learn how to teach math better."
Class: "You already teach math good. You don't need to go there. We don't want you to leave."
Me: "Believe me, I would rather stay here. It takes a lot of work and worrying to get ready for a sub."

Isn't that the truth?! I was at school til 7:00 tonight planning for Tuesday and Wednesday. I did have a conference at 5:00 that took an hour, but it was still too much work and not worth being out for 2 days. My kids might find a renewed appreciation for me after they do worksheets and textbook work for the next 2 days.

I'll let everyone know if the workshop was worth the planning stress or just a waste of my day. The good news is that I get to sleep in a bit in the morning...30 minutes is 30 minutes.
