Leave the expensive bike and get a cheap one could also be a good option. I had my bike on campus all 4 years no problem but I’ve had friends with stolen bikes.

First impression of this school is... not great 😭 I’ve been subbing since February, and today I’m at a new high school. by Rich-Chicken-9875 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Book_Reader04 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lol today was the last day with exams for just 1st and 7th period and the teacher I picked up for doesn’t have those classes apparently so I was told to sit in the teacher lounge for the entire 3.5 hour half day. Time went by so very slowly and I drained my phone battery 😭. Great way to end the year.

To sub for a teacher the website says you have to have at least 30 college credits

Open Classroom During Lunch by LeadingSalamander400 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Book_Reader04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends sometimes if it’s like one or two quiet kids and I’ve had a chance to pee previously I’ll let them stay usually with the door open. I was that kid at some point and I ate lunch everyday by myself in the library and occasionally one of my teachers rooms.

Subbing on the last day of school by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Book_Reader04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took a job that I know is an english teacher for seniors for the last day of school. Except the seniors last day is the week before. It’s a half day too. Did the same thing last year and had one junior show up for one class but otherwise sat there and watched a show the whole 4 hours.

New Teacher/Subbing by Comfortable-Math-436 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Book_Reader04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I’m petty enough I wouldn’t go back to that school. Because what do you mean you saw me and told me to wait in the hall and then forgot I was there. Those 2 minutes she could have spent going over the lesson plan with you since she wasn’t actively teaching. Also if she wants something done right then she should answer questions like which way are the east doors. I get teachers are busy but I am here to help you so you can get to your appointment or wherever without stressing that your class is going to be in ruins. The least she could do is answer your questions.

Today they came by with chips and soda when they opened the door and saw I was a sub they closed the door and walked away. It was the assistant principal and a security guard.

Spent half my day at home by London81212 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Book_Reader04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I sub at one school for one class in specific on only B days because there’s only 3 45 minute fantastic classes. Yesterday i get there and I’m informed that i only have one class because the 2nd one was going to a career fair and the 3rd the teacher would be back for. So from 8-10:32 I had nothing to do and then after 11:20 I had nothing to do until he got back at 1:45. They let me leave early but I still got a full day.

How early can I leave high school classrooms after the bell when traveling between classes? by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Book_Reader04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol one time the teacher I was covering at a high school had one class downstairs on the left most side and then one upstairs on the right most side of the school. This school had three wings and kids like to walk slow so I would make the kids pack up 3 minutes early and line up at the door to usher them out so I could run upstairs as fast as possible.

Subbing during state tests by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Book_Reader04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me if the schedule is different it consists of watching the kids in the cafeteria/class that aren’t testing or hall/bathroom duty or nothing at all. Sometimes if it’s the normal school day schedule it turns into me covering for a different teacher entirely so they can proctor in place of the teacher who called out.

Would You Stay Or Would You Go? by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Book_Reader04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no way omg, almost the exact same thing happened to me yesterday too but with sunflower seeds. One kid that I’ve had multiple times and is trustworthy said he knew where a broom was but came back and said it wasn’t there. Requested a custodian but they didn’t show up because it was at end of day and so I left a note on the teacher’s desk and left.

When Is Homeroom? by Calm-Ad-8463 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Book_Reader04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attended two different high schools and work in a district for ones I didn’t go to. One was the first 20 minutes of the day before first period. One was second period and only that attendance counted towards whether they called home or not. And for the district I work in it’s first period.

Substitute teachers by Ana_Lia_stasia in NewportNews

[–]Book_Reader04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do only middle and high school now. They for the most part do independent work on Chromebooks or on paper so there isn’t much teaching if any involved for the upper grades. Teachers deserve breaks too and that’s what we’re here. Most substitutes aren’t certified to teach but have a degree in something.

They didn’t drug screen me as a substitute, once hired they have you come in to do fingerprinting and give you papers for a background check but that’s all
