This challenged me to love the kids more. The home visits were made both on school time and on my time. Every Wednesday I visited the homes of the kindergarten kids. You need the administration and the office. Secretaries make or break you.
Teaching is very political.
I got to know the kids better and watched them mature and see the leadership side of their personalities. I have some of the same kids in class. I coach volleyball. And teaching drama allows me to work with all students. You must have a high energy level and be willing to put in the extra time.
