Good on You, Alan!

As I work for a school district (in maintenance), I can relate to your story.

I'm wondering why the only teachers who are willing to think outside the box have to be subs or short timers?

Wow... I had no idea you were such a renaissance man!

That's a terrific! Well done!

Alan,

I'm amazed at your knowledge, skills, and ability to improvise. The school district is very fortunate to have you as a substitute teacher. I hope the girl who looks like she has some celtic heritage gets to dance.

Alan, I'm very impressed with your story. We could use some good subs like you here. My hats off to you,

A fascinating story, told with great enthusiasm -- something that is easy to lose in a teaching job, I'm afraid.
I hope you get the apreciation you deserve, both from the kids and froim the authorities who are lucky to get someone so versatile.
The idea of going into school without knowing in advance exactly what I was going to teach, would be scary for me.

Keep it up !
