And I bitch about having to go back to work after vacation. Hell I bitch when the weekend is over

You have no idea what it takes to be a good teacher. You'd suck at it

Don't tell them this is your first year. Seriously, don't. Lie instead.

They may be a health care provider, physical therapist, school board member, etc. Make sure you treat them fairly and discipline with dignity.
I just wanted to say that I will start my teaching career this fall.
Do that and the other end of your career/life will be very rewarding when you run across former students and they tell you how you much influence you actually had in their lives.

Also, I have a tattoo on the inside of my forearm. Would it be best to cover that up for teacher orientation? What should I wear for orientation anyway?
I can relate to this as I remember my former teachers.

a metaphor for mental strength, teachers are the best ever. Teaching kids is a serious challenge with everyones attitude today.

If I must, I can tell them that I've taught at the college level, which isn't entirely false

I read that Wong's book was a bit more scattered and spoke a lot about elementary school. I will be teaching high school.
Thank you all for the suggestions

Absolutely cover it. If you see other teachers exposing ink after a few days, I wouldn't hesitate to do the same. But play it safe at first, as every school is different. I'd also wear slacks (albeit a comfortable pair) and a button down on my first day and have a tie handy just in case. It's more than likely overkill, but it's so much better to be overdressed than underdressed.

All of my buddies who work half the year in the oil field bitch when they have to go offshore. Is that anything different?

You can always pick out the posters who are teachers or have family that is a teacher in these threads.

Create an environment that they enjoy being a part of. If you can get them to like coming into your room then you have a shot with them. Set rules and proceedures but don't be a Dick about it. Be able to talk to kids, shoot the shite with them. (With the focus od being a positive influence and not their friend) Don't worry so much about the curriculum early on. Obviously you have to teach but the early part of the year should be about winning over the kid. The biggest thing is dont let it bother you when they don't give a crap. Never let them see you sweat.
What grade and subject are you teaching?

That's like saying you can always pick out the LSU/Alabama posters on a thread about Bama.
