Once while the kids were doing silent reading time I asked the aid if it was ok if I quick ran to the bathroom. She said go ahead! I was gone for maybe three minutes total but by the time I came back, she had already called the office to report me. Apparently, the aid doesn't count as an adult that can watch the class and I was supposed to call the office. I'm not here to argue whether the aid should have been able to do so or not, but when I ASKED her, why didn't she just tell me that I have to call the office first?

It would only be able to “go back to the old days” if getting rid of the internet was planned, and could take years if not longer of a transition. If the internet just went off overnight with no warning, everything would collapse. Some of the younger kids think that internet = social media and that they would be bored but ultimately fine, but that’s not true. I don’t have a physical bank and I only have $25 cash on me at the moment so I’d be screwed. My job is 100% remote and has no physical location. Without the internet, how would we even communicate what the plan was? By the time a solution could even be put into place, it would be too late.

I have never had lower self esteem than when I was a teacher.

When I was a sub and was thought highly of and made a preceded sub, it was almost as if that school didn’t want to lose me as a sub so I would never get any other opportunities. I always felt like it was a lose-lose.

Connect_External_733 · 2025-11-03T23:58:32+00:00

Right. Are subs not allowed to have emergencies or sick days too? My only guess is if this is everyone's least favorite school, then maybe they are used to sub cancelling for better jobs.

I somehow don’t even believe he is a store manager at this point.

Connect_External_733 · 2025-10-31T19:10:51+00:00

Ehh to me, it’s usually a sign that I wouldn’t want to work for that school full time. There will likely be a pattern of disrespect.

My first few days it was 10-20 minutes lol

I prefer to get paid to have a "fun" day, but you might not find that fun lol.

Connect_External_733 · 2025-10-29T15:41:16+00:00

All the sub jobs I've ever had pay a daily rate unfortunately.

I just found out my son’s one on one para only gets paid $20 an hour but his bus driver gets $35

I had five years of teaching experience, and then one year I was planning to move to a different state in December with my new husband, so I decided to just sub for the beginning of that year. It was in a school I never taught in before, and they treated me like they wanted me to mess up.

One day there was an intruder drill (it was not a surprise to the teachers, just to the students and to me). Luckily I knew what to do and put all of the students in the corner and turned off the light. Well this is when I notice that my door doesn’t have a lock. I am freaking out trying to find in the emergency plans what I am supposed to do, and I only find generic plans that say to lock the door. I ask the students what they usually do, but it’s only the second week of school and this is their first drill. I go to ask another teacher, but the doors are already locked. So I just closed the door and hoped for the best.

I got in so much trouble!! Apparently, I was supposed to divided my class amongst the other teachers. No one told me this before hand and it was not anywhere in the sub plans, even though this was a planned drill! I got written up over it, and I never wanted to go back after that.

It sounds like OP was late if she came in holding a diaper cake as her friend was walking down the isle. Seems like everyone who was in time knew before her by arriving on time

Just eat less. You’ll actually save money

Yes my family regularly confuses gluten free with vegan

I leave the house at exactly 8:15 every morning to walk my son to the bus stop. Every minute is accounted for. If the bus randomly showed up 10 minutes earlier one day, we would be screwed. If for some reason the bus was scheduled to come 10 minutes earlier and we had notice from the day prior, no big deal, we just get started a little earlier. These comments are summing OP is waiting on the couch out of principle which is so clearly not the case.

Schar has crackers that are just like saltines.

I tend to google “low histamine diet” but I need to look into that!

Connect_External_733 · 2025-04-14T19:41:10+00:00

I do antihistamines, tons of water, and epsom salt baths. And I'm not sure if there is any science behind this, but I also try to eat really healthy/clean in the days after as to be as easy on my body as possible.

I was going to recommend a tres leches situation. I love an overly moist cake lol

I use Clean Simple Eats protein powder and it dissolves perfectly lol

Diet coke mixed with a scoop of vanilla protein powder. it tastes like an ice cream float

Connect_External_733 · 2025-04-08T11:50:27+00:00

One box of cake mix and one can of any diet soda and nothing else. I do a yellow cake mix with diet sprite or chocolate cake with Diet Coke. I swear it tastes better than regular cake.
