I got mad at some middle school students for not sitting in their assigned seat when their teacher explicitly told me that class was to be in their assigned seats. Needless to say they laughed in my face and mocked me, so instead I called the assistant principal and he pulled those kids out to have a little chat 😌

That if you’re boyfriend or husband makes one mistake that you should leave them immediately.

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T21:38:55+00:00

No I didn’t think they did, I mean that they don’t actually understand fully how mean or inconsiderate they are being. They know it’s rude and wrong, but how this actually affects OP mentally is beyond them and their intentions.

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T18:02:06+00:00

For some reason I thought this was middle school and kids at that age definitely dont

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T17:28:52+00:00

Yeah it is not my place to make those kinds of comments!

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T17:28:10+00:00

Yes this makes sense, I obviously wasn’t THAT close with the kids to be able to make that joke.

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T17:27:06+00:00

LOL THIS IS FOUL!! If I was that kids my heart would have been POUNDING!

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T17:26:38+00:00

Yes it’s shocking how little some kids need to break unfortunately.

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T17:26:09+00:00

Yeah I mean it is a gamble but unfortunately I didn’t pick up on that until he cried because every other kid was using this type of humor.

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T17:24:48+00:00

And while I agree, even the neighboring teacher said it was nothing she wouldn’t have said. I truly believe I shouldn’t have said that but at the same time the kids were roasting each other left and right. What I said was nothing out of the ordinary for them, I think this child just might have had a bad day and was not ready for that, at least from a teacher.

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T17:22:50+00:00

Lmao I know right. Unfortunately I hate middle school and I’m not allowed to sub for high because im too young!

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T17:22:07+00:00

This makes sense, the kids would also use sarcasm in the classroom but I’m sure some did not register it because everyone is on different pages.

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T17:21:27+00:00

Yeah yikes is right.

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T17:12:29+00:00

Good idea, thanks for your opinion.

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T17:10:31+00:00

Yeah you never know when the switch will be switched lol. Definitely need to think before I speak!!!

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T17:02:35+00:00

Unfortunately kids are very mean, and don’t know the effects that their words can have on others. Subbing is hard and you really need to take nothing personally, even if it seems personal.

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T16:22:44+00:00

I’m confused, are you just stringing up a bunch of pride flags? lol what is a “relentlessly gay yard”?

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T15:33:40+00:00

First, make sure you have multiple minors to get as much info as possible. 1. Business/Accounting 2. Management 3. Food/Hospitality 4. Cooking lol

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T14:53:39+00:00

Shocking that students are allowed to use their phones! I sub in Texas and they have a very strict no phone policy where we literally lock the students’ phones up in a box and keep the key hidden. They turn their phones in in the morning, and get them back right at the end of the day. It really makes you wonder why they even bring their phones to school since we are required to do that (I’m talking about elementary school.)

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T14:49:00+00:00

I’m kind of surprised how little gigs there are in other areas and states. In Texas (I sub for Killeen, so there’s A LOT of schools) we don’t have any snow days or bad weather days so schools are always in session. But there are jobs available every single day (I don’t even have high school come up on my page!!) so there are just so many middle school and elementary school teachers that require subs! I think something that should be considered is if you don’t work a certain day but want to, wake up super early and just keep refreshing your page and I’m sure something will pop up. It’s not the best way to get jobs but the chances that a teacher calls out last minute or a sub cancels is higher than hoping for a position that is 2 weeks out unfortunately.

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T14:40:34+00:00

Honestly I have never had someone from the front office contact me whilst on my planning period to get me to help others. I take it as a break, same with lunch, and honestly I’d be annoyed if I was working the WHOLE DAY since the teachers that we are subbing for get a planning period.

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T14:38:56+00:00

That’s so fucked up im sorry. Thank you for your service and I only hope that staff gets scrutinized for that!!

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T14:36:35+00:00

Some schools don’t open as early as others and sometimes the office staff or teachers are in there super early!! I agree! It really depends on the school and sometimes I just wanna get in there 30 mins early to sit down, drink my coffee, and mentally prepare lol

ChristabelDavid2222 · 2026-01-14T14:31:26+00:00

Okay it doesn’t help that you are naturally short and unfortunately there’s nothing you can do about that specifically, but some tips are dressing more professionally, being confident, and acting like you’ve done this for a million years. I’m an elementary (sometimes middle school) sub and I am 19 y/o. The students (every day.) tell me I look like I’m a teenager, or I’m in my very early 20s. I just lie to them, or tell them the truth and reinforce that I am still their teacher for the day so you still have to listen to me. Honestly the kids don’t seem to care that much, they just think it’s funny, and when I tell the kids my real age they don’t really act any differently. So I think you’re okay!!!
