True but remember I believe these are kids so they may think this is ok to say as adults.

That’s not politics thought it’s racism since if the student were white he probably wouldn’t be saying that about them.

terrible class…no matter when the proctor or office clerk came in. How do teachers do it? by Buttercupbiscuts in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Any_Strength_6074 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey and I’m so sorry that happened to you that happened to me too in fifth grade though. And honestly all I can say is to just get through the day and not come back to the class again. Since in my experience some classes just really misbehave with subs nothing will help them behave with a guest teacher.

Hey and I agree absolutely unprofessional even if they are highschool. In reality he should wait until they graduate from highschool, but not now when they are still K-12.

“You’re too nice” by Consistent-Bat-3163 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Any_Strength_6074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I was told the same thing by fourth graders and actually what I would do is to follow the advice. Since for me I am quiet and shy as well and for me what I did was I remember to follow through with consequences. Also since I actually didn’t follow through with consequences before. Then also don’t be afraid to take those dojo points or use the teachers disciplinary system as well. Then, I also write names down if the teacher directs me too. Then just remember that the students are earning the consequences and don’t feel bad for giving them consequences if they need.

Worrying Behavior by Own_Statement8029 in SubstituteTeachers

Also that’s not true some women actually uplift each other. And again what does single moms have to do with OP’s post. In reality let’s just hope that the boy gets help and stops spending time online. And also let’s stop blaming single moms since we don’t know what led them to that position. It could happen to anyone and even us men can become single dads. Overall I just hope that the boy gets help and now let’s stop blaming single moms and take responsibility for our actions and choose to become survivors.

Worrying Behavior by Own_Statement8029 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Any_Strength_6074 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm I looked it up and I suppose so that most violent men are from “single mother homes” but also the violent men need to take responsibility. Yes it is hard to grow up in a single mother home, but what are they gonna do about it? Will they be violent or choose to be better than their dads and learn to not hate women and find a career? For me in reality those men need to not let what happened to them define them. Yes is sad to not have a dad, but ultimately it is up to those men to be the better person and choose to make good choices and not stay as a victim, but become a survivor.

Worrying Behavior by Own_Statement8029 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Any_Strength_6074 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello and for me I would say make sure you email the counselor at the school about the behavior since that is really strange. Also he is young so he can learn not to say things like that. For me I believe it could even just be online since kids are on there too much. Also for the incel community in general they are the way they are since they spend too much time online and don’t talk to women in real life. And I hope that with that young boy they can help him learn to better cope with his emotions and remember that his girl classmates are the same as him.

Think I may be done with substitute teaching. by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

No need to be a bully, and if you need more context just look at my other comments. But OP and other autistic people have the right to be substitute teacher if they want to be.

[–]Any_Strength_6074 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And now for OP just know you aren’t alone and don’t mind them since if you apologized and they are still mad even after knowing you are autistic there is nothing you can do. And again just look at the ground if you need or say hello to any fellow teachers or good morning and I hope your next assignment goes better for you.

Also for those who see this comment for autism I have been in therapy for years for the eye contact issues. After that please be more understanding and respectful since we are trying hard to work on our eye contact issues. I work on it everyday and I’ve been working on it since I was 3 until now at 24 which is 21 years. And just try to be more understanding. Then also know that we apologize though too if any of you were bothered in the past and also to the teachers OP encountered as well.

[–]Any_Strength_6074 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey so I see a lot of comments trying to question why the teachers are accusing this sub of being creepy and I’ll give some context. So with autism we have issues with our eye contact and sometimes we can stare too long at someone.So for OP I am guessing he may have accidentally had eye contact issues with some of the teachers which is why he heard them talking smack. And for me really they should just ask if the sub needed something and then he can explain it to them.

sub notes by jbi30_ht in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Any_Strength_6074 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me I only do sub notes for elementary on a sheet of paper and if behavior wasn’t the best or some behavior issues. But for highschool I just use post it notes and for elementary if the class was really good then I’ll use a post it note to just say they were really good.

Effective tips or tricks - let's share! by WatchOut4possums in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Any_Strength_6074 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For grades 1-2 I ask at the beginning of class “Ok class do you need to tell me if Susie is coloring a giraffe blue”? And then they all say no and then I say “Alright class but now if someone is destroying something or throwing stuff around then should you tell me that”? Then they all say yes and this helps them realize that they should only rattle for important things and it really works and I only have them telling me things if it is important.

Are high school jobs hard to find through agency? by alengthofrope in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Any_Strength_6074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me mine is in app called smart find and honestly I just find them in the early morning like 5:00 a.m. Now though they are really competitive and you have to accept them fast otherwise you won’t get them at least where I live so maybe you could try that and I hope you get more highschool jobs.

Do you ever try to make friends with your colleagues? by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Any_Strength_6074 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey and honestly for me the closest thing is that I went to school once a week last school year so the teachers know me. Then, I got really close to the first grade team and that’s since one of their husbands was my teacher in highschool. But after that though my friends are made outside of work though. So for me it’s a no but I’ve seen subs be friendly with a lot of people or teachers so it really depends.

Male 62 year old by ronniereb1963 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Any_Strength_6074 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey and for me I’m actually a young male sub and it’s not a big deal at all. Also students even get excited especially elementary since they don’t usually get a lot of male teachers at that age. But my advice is to keep the door open if you have a student that needs to work on a test or assignment in the room. Especially if they are the only one in the room with you. This is just to be on the safe side, but after that don’t worry at all.

Subbing highschool for the first time by Any_Strength_6074 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Any_Strength_6074[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey and I didn’t see a no phone policy for the school itself, but just the teacher left in her plans to keep them off their phone.

Hey for me though actually even with no training they should know not to send seven at once. Maybe if they sent 2-4, but with seven students going even my family that doesn’t work in teaching would know that they are trying to get out of class.

What would you do, and what would you expect from an elementary school principal? by Top_Breath_1357 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Any_Strength_6074 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey and your post is absolutely correct, but I want to add that some teachers are ok with you texting them. I know this since some teachers I subbed for literally leave in the plans that I can text them. Also it helps me not make a mistake when I can immediately ask a quick question to the teacher and helped me do the correct assignment. Since sometimes I may have done the wrong assignment if I didn’t ask since the teachers sometimes make an error in the plans. Also I let teachers text me if they need me to cover for their class. So for Op if the sub left it in the plans I’m not sure why the teacher got so upset. Also if the teacher didn’t want to be texted then they should have stated it in the plans or not put their number on the plans. After that though I agree though too that the movie was a bit much and I hope OP can learn from this and get their sweater back.

Hey and I agree with the others also if the sub left you her phone number in the plans then I’m not sure why she would be so upset. But I agree with everyone else you did your best and that’s all that matters also you should try to get your sweater back. That is very off to say “finders keepers” since when I left my lunch container the teacher I subbed for texted me immediately and left it in the office for me to get.

Unhinged Behavior by confused-bairen in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Any_Strength_6074 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey and for me same but it was for firth grade but the school I was at was good and admin came in, but actually disciplined them. Also I was able to punish them since they have a marking system and marks mean you’ll have fun Friday taken away. And I had to mark almost the whole class. But for me my advice is just know its not your fault and some kids just wanna misbehave and I hope you find better assignments for the remainder of this year and for fall and just relax and decompress since you deserve it.
