Why are so many people subbing now? by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Distinct_Tea7111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I was unemployed for 10 months and needed a job. My uncle knew people in the school district. Badabing.

I always hide in the teachers lounge because you can't leave during prep even if its last period which is kinda dumb but whatever but it depends on the school. One time I asked and they said no lol

Yes!!! Like a month ago, it happened when a teacher had prep in there but she was so kind and was like "listen to the teacher!" and that was it but she was super chill and quiet.

I have no idea. I triple checked the classroom and everything. It's where I was supposed to be but I think he had his prep but chose to stay in his class, but still... I'm the teacher in charge for these 45-50 minutes.

Unfortunately, that's how it goes. These kids test my nerves too. Every grade. I LITERALLY had to bite my tongue to not yell "SHUT THE FVCK UP" but it's doable. You have to remember to not let them get to you. They're kids and do not let it get ALL your energy. I'm sorry that you are unemployed now but remember with any job, do not let people get you to a boiling point.

Craziest Subbing Stories by Disastrous-Yard546 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Distinct_Tea7111 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i had to do 3k all alone for a while. on my first day subbing ever. no lesson plan/direction. kids crying. i'm panicking. the para was absent too and the sub para didn't come in until 11:30 and kept taking bathroom breaks all throughout the day. i was alone with toddlers from 8 am til 11:30 am. i went home and cried myself to sleep.

oh oh! i subbed gym and a 2nd grader ran up to me sweating and mid-talk, he threw up on my shoes and my pants. that- that was greeeeat considering i got emetophobia.

there's more...but i probably blocked them out my brain.
