#Teachers Sick – Teacher Feels Guilty; but very caring to the point he Ride Shared to doctors

How his day started — Firstly there’s the having to drag himself out of sick bed to the doctors after calling in and being ordered to write cover lessons which always seems like a terrible imposition. Planning cover always seems at least twice as difficult (and definitely takes twice as long) as planning a lesson for when You know You’ll be present to deliver it. Added to that is the knowledge that the cover teacher may or may not bother with my intricately planned masterpiece and, even if they do, the kids’ work rate drops through the floor.
The guilt set in for the middle school DENver math teacher and as we approached his home even his neighbor was out inquiring why he didn’t drive.
