It feels quite good to go out for my practicum, to share a classroom with a teacher who has been teaching for 15+ years, and to have her say that my unit plan is "brilliant" (strong words in my opinion haha) and that she wants all my material so she can teach it next year. I've heard this type story from multiple peers as well. There is a sense that many are always trying to find new and different ways to teach old material. And why not? Believe me, you think learning about something boring like Confederation is crappy? Try teaching it. It's just as bad for the teachers (sorry to pick on confederation). Anyway, I just wanted to share that I feel quite differently, that there is room in the classroom for difference and creativity.
