[quote=Anonymous]One of my kids had a newish (23 years old, second year teaching)

She was AMAZING. Such energy and enthusiasm. Loved the kids. Went to their soccer games, dance recitals, etc. She enjoyed teaching the kids and had the interest and energy to do creative projects and work with each kid at their own level.

All of the boys were in love with her and all of the girls wanted to be her.  It was a very good year for all the kids.

Her one drawback was that in the beginning she was nervous at parent conferences, especially when she had to tell you that your kid was naughty (ahem...my child). Dealing with parents takes skill and experience and by the end of the year she was almost there.

I liken first/second year teachers to the fourth and fifth grade girls who are dying to babyait. They are so eager and attentive and really want to do their best to look after your kids. They are aay better than many of the experienced teenagers who just want to pop in a movie so they can text on their phone. Kwim? Sometimes pure enthusiasm can accomplish a lot, especially with kids.[/quote]
