What Would You Do? You are teaching in a first grade classroom. A child’s father comes to visit the classroom and decides to take him home early An hour later, the mother and grandmother of the first grade student comes into your classroom, angry and upset because the child’s father came to pick the child up early from school.

What Would You Do? You are in the teacher’s lounge and well seasoned teachers are discussing a child’s suspension, who just happens to be your church pastor’s daughter. Substitute teaching is going very well for you; you are now in your six month and have found out that high school is your niche. You are even getting face book requests from many of the students.

What Would You Do? You accepted a job last night for a kindergarten class; however, you awoke this morning to a call from your four year olds daycare saying they are closed because of plumbing problems. No other childcare is available for you. What will you do? Can you take your child with you, after all you are in a kindergarten class?
