McClung's Second Year

What I learned This Year
McClung has many firsts during his second year teaching. He teaches a different grade and unlike last year he is not afforded all the resources most teachers would consider necessary. In addition, he must teach a new kind of Science and an additional Social Studies class. Since his background was not in History he has difficulty, one might even say failure, teaching it to jr. high school students. He still manages to adapt to changes that were and are necessary for classroom success. Mr. McClung is still learning to become a better teacher and he is not afraid to say it. I love the way he recognizes the "school moms." I did not think Mr. McClung could be a more awesome teacher from last year or do a better job, but applications of his new ideas and now his new experiences have made this year's post even better than the last. I can empathize with his feelings for the "grown-ups." I hope he always remembers that teachers teach everyone, but we do it for the kids.
