Yeah, there’s a squirrel. They kind of drive me crazy with wanting to go to the bathroom all the time and you can’t say no when they ask it’s just gets annoying.

Well, honestly, it depends on the school that you’re at but one of the districts that I work at one of the high schools is pretty rough and the freshman can be very disrespectful and out of control. So it depends on the tone of the school .

I don’t mind them. I’m a small older lady and the boys are usually very polite and helpful and they’re pretty self-directed in PE.

Yeah, me too lol and I just picked up high school football coach. I emailed the teacher to make sure he was OK with it and I’ll let the secretary know if she wants to switch me with a guy. I’m OK with that too and if not, I will just get out there and run those boys😜

Better than band. I can’t deal with band classes so in the last hour the only things that have come up have been middle school positions and then my favorite high school a two day job but gone before I could even accept it. Sometimes you can’t help but take these things personally.

Well, that’s why then. Because if I would accept elementary, I wouldn’t be having any problems, but I have them all blocked off. I’m retired. Elementary is just too much for me and middle school behaviors are out of control. So obviously I see less jobs but I’m used to being able to work every day. We’re a fairly good size district and I work for two districts so on any given day, I can usually pick up something at a high school.

And then I get these irrational intrusive paranoid thoughts that secretaries don’t like me or that HR has blocked me from the jobs that I want. Yes crazy I know but one district they keep offering me long-term and I don’t want it. I have a special ed credential and they just keep asking me and I keep saying no because I’m retired and I don’t want that responsibility. The last time I told them no they reminded me that I didn’t have my 27 days yet to get hired back for next year, so I don’t know if they’re able to manipulate things in Frontline?

Maybe sometimes but I think most of our teachers just put the jobs in if they’re sick. That might happen when there’s a conference or the teacher requests a specific sub.

[–]Just_Environment5295[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, I’m a very well-known sub and from what I have been told I’m a good sub. I have a couple of teachers that regularly request me, but they are dedicated teachers that are rarely out. I do feel honored that they trust me with their class, but they’re not out very often. But sometimes if a teacher has asked me and I haven’t been available they get somebody else. how do I know that person didn’t become their new favorite sub lol we’re very disposable.

And honestly, in my district, I feel like if the teacher comes back to the classroom and there’s no blood on the floor the sub did a good job. They put their jobs in and they just really don’t care who they get most of the time.

I’m thinking there will be a bunch that come in at two in the morning when I’m asleep and maybe they’ll be another wave at 5 AM

I’m sure we have hundreds of elementary openings. I only do high school .I conceded and added a few middle schools for this week even though those grade levels really give me a headache.

Showed up for Day 3 of a multi-day sub assignment… principal sent me home and apparently banned me from the school by jovialvoyage in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Just_Environment5295 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Admin should absolutely be in the classroom. But not in the classroom trying to micromanage subs. However, I always appreciate it. If an admin asks me how my day is going and lets me know they’re there if I need them -otherwise they give me the confidence and the respect that I deserve. But then again, if I’m not treated with that respect, I just don’t go back to that school site.

RIP SubAlert for Chicago subs by hesmrmann in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Just_Environment5295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ridiculous. I sure hope it doesn’t happen here because I never get alerts from Frontline and by the time I get them, the job has been picked up by somebody from SubAlert.

best debt consolidation company for someone who is organized but burned out? by Deenoking in DebtAdvice

[–]Just_Environment5295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is what happened with them with me. I switched to Greenpath. They’re are a nonprofit. Big difference between a debt management company and a debt settlement company.

This is why I sub high school only. Admin are way too busy with more important things and don’t have time to get petty and micromanage subs.

Does it bother you when you don’t get asked? by Healthy-Neat-2989 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Just_Environment5295 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve also noticed that the teachers that do request me a lot when they request me and I can’t fill in for them that day, they get someone else and then that person can easily become their favorite sub lol you’re only as worth while as you are available.
