I know exactly how you are feeling. You are competing with
young ones and the system loves newbies. They don't cost
as much and are easy to mold. I would suggest subbing for
awhile and inviting the principal to come in and observe you.
No newbie can do that and that gives you a great advantage.
I found an honest principal who favored quality over low cost
or worse yet politics. You will too.
