Mr. Payne sat across the desk as I signed off on my evaluation. It wasn't a bad evaluation but I personally wasn't happy with my first year teaching at South B. While some of the lessons and ideas I migrated from Apex HS worked, many did not. As I lamented over this, he gave me some great advice.

"It's going to take three years to get your program up and running," he said.

"Three years? I'm not a new teacher."

"It doesn't matter. Give it three years and you'll have it running smoothly."

I let it sink in. Everything was different. Different buildings, different room, different technology, and of course, different students. I had to modify the program to fit the needs of South B.
