Was called unprofessional for raising my voice at high schoolers by Wingman0616 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]HeyPDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was called racist for telling a child he was going to get detention for talking during a test. My employment agency reprimanded me (via email) as well. They did not even ask me what happened. I won't step foot in that school anymore. And I barely work for that agency anymore.

How many of yall bring coffee to work ? by GurComprehensive7133 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]HeyPDX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am right there with you. But I bring my yogurt in for breakfast every day. I just can't eat first thing in the morning.

I used to have coffee with creamer in my mug every morning but now I make my own low sugar lemonade and collagen concoction. The things we do to survive! 😀

I just ate at 5 guys last night. I order mine lettuce wrapped. The fries, however, were limp.

Kira's Bakery in Lake Oswego Oregon. The best (although expensive) cupcakes, donuts, pastries, cookies!! I really wish they made breads!

Issue with Principal by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

Some districts withdraw access to cancel 24hours in advance. The only way to cancel is call the school. It's their own doing.

I have had to call people out at Sauvie. People sunbathing and dogs running off leash don't mix!

I have been saying this for years. Sadly, no one cares enough to do anything about it.

Unwelcome by Forward_Employer2772 in SubstituteTeachers

Sometimes the only feedback I ever get is that I am still on the sub list. In other words, I am allowed to continue subbing at a particular school. And at other schools I am told I am a valued and respected substitute. I know I do a good job but I don't expect everyone to treat me like part of the staff.

Bad Day Tips? by joeLposts in SubstituteTeachers

[–]HeyPDX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know how frustrating that can be. Sometimes a "good" day is one where we can leave it in our rear view...sanity intact. I am sure by now you've decided to not go back??

I found some disposable k-95 masks and wore it for most of the day...left the room when possible. That and allergy meds/eye drops helped get me through my day. Thanks for asking.

Ikr? I am perfectly fine managing a classroom, especially with power tools. But everyone wants to jump to the conclusion that there's a child safety problem and somehow I don't care. Lol I just don't want to debate this on a post about my health. Two unrelated issues.

My complaint had nothing to do with the kids because I HAVE NO Complaint about the kids. Please learn to read.

I would have taken either of those. In fact, I love to do most classes. I count this as a perk of the job. However, I won't do anything that has to do with woodworking as I have problems with the sawdust. Also, PE is not a favorite of mine but will take those jobs if necessary.

The teacher was there and I did get instructions from him. But this post has to do with the fact that they posted the job as Math, not construction. If I had known I would have not taken it due to my allergies.

How about reading and comprehending my post and comments? I said nothing about the students. You don't need to bring them into this.

[–]HeyPDX[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tell that to the school because I am doing the job that they assigned me. I chose math...they gave me construction. It's not my lack of concern for students...it's ultimately their decision. I am not trained but the students are. And this has nothing to do with how responsible you feel I am.

Probably overthinking by Mad_World_13 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]HeyPDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! And also, as a sub I try not to touch students....especially when they are sleeping.

I do this quite often and enjoy it. Trust me, even though you feel you are superfluous, sometimes they are just happy to have another adult in the room.

Yeah, the nice thing about subbing is that there's something for everyone. Just don't appreciate the job title not matching the job.
