I have OFTEN said, "so you're "Joe" today," without realizing that it
might give offense. I will never do that again, having been "Joe" but
not having such awful experiences from fellow teachers as she has. The
students are hard on subs, I know, but I expect that. You have indeed
chosen a difficult career. Blessings on you for your courage and
persistence.
