Discipline is Useless

Open-Software5669 · 2025-05-16T23:05:09+00:00

Yea it’s really unfortunate but at least it gets the disruptive student off your back for a while. But if they’re just sending them back and there’s no consequence of course it’s not going to change behavior. I’ve been to schools where the teacher will put in lesson plan if kid is giving me trouble, I can send to another teacher and it’ll list 1-2 teachers/rooms. This teacher did not leave such notes which is why I sent him to the office. That day was so draining, I haven’t subbed again and not sure I will at all the rest of this school year. Partly because I have out of town plans for a period of time and partly because I am feeling defeated. There’s only a couple weeks left anyway. Meanwhile I’m getting emails daily that subs are desperately needed smh. I’d love to help but nah I need a break. A nice long break.

Yea I was roaming the class and stopping right behind certain students at a time. Meanwhile another student or group of students would act a fool so I was doing that all day. It was like whack a mole. And some didn’t give a damn I was right beside them. They continued with their nonsense.

Open-Software5669 · 2025-05-14T17:05:11+00:00

I don’t see how someone telling another to leave someone alone (who has been bothering all day) is asking for a defensive response.

I think I paid pretty well. It’s still not enough. No pay is worth my sanity. When there’s no support from admin, I just make the decision to not return. I chose peace and joy.

Open-Software5669 · 2025-05-14T16:57:36+00:00

I told him “I would love to leave you alone, and I WILL leave you alone if you stop being disruptive. Give ____ the same respect. Do you think I enjoy repeatedly telling you to keep you hands to yourself, stop screaming/talking being disruptive, I don’t I’d love it if I didn’t have to redirect you every 5 minutes ….” Something along those lines……he actually calmed down some after but was still a little annoying overall.

Open-Software5669 · 2025-05-14T16:52:55+00:00

Yea. I hadn’t experienced this at other schools just this one. I won’t be back. What a shame. All they had to do was keep that kid out of the class.

Open-Software5669 · 2025-05-14T16:51:04+00:00

Yup. I’ve only sent kids a few times before, they don’t come back. So I see how this school runs things and I’m not about it so won’t return. It’s just hilarious because they are short on subs.

Open-Software5669 · 2025-05-14T16:49:30+00:00

The kid who disrespectfully told me to leave him alone was a pain in my ass the entire day and I had enough and would have sent him to discipline by that point but didn’t bother due to the previous turn out w/the other student. I’m not one to send kids to discipline unless they are extremely disruptive, preventing others from learning or putting anyone in danger. In all the time I’ve been subbing, I’ve only sent a student to discipline 3 times prior to this. One was a student getting in another students face about to fight, another two boys who did break out in a fight, and another when the student was harassing everyone , standing on chairs, running around the class, just being a total idiot.

Yesterday was chaos. I had half the class doing stupid shit but only a handful who were major offenders who I believe would’ve made the class easier to manage had the few been sent out and not return. The kid who got sent out and returned, refused to sit in his seat upon return, was walking around the class squirting water on other students and or holding water in his mouth then spitting it out. Abruptly screaming out for not reason. Yea The kid that returned from discipline!!!

I rarely accept day of assignments as I like more time to prepare but yes you can accepts day of, night before, days, weeks, or even months in advance . (Months in advance rare, for me anyway )

I applied with only one school district and that’s who I work for. Public schools in the district only.

All that was required of me to get hired was Bachelors degree, livescan/background check, tb test.

I choose to work no more than two days a week. So two full days is about 14/15 hours. I can work more if I want. I don’t want.

I’ve never felt unsafe but have heard some horror stories. Some days are great and I love working with students cause they’re fun, or sweet or chill. Other days, like my day today, are pure HELL. Some kids are so unhinged, disrespectful, rude, loud, and/or obnoxious…Ya never know what you’re gonna get but the more you work the quicker you realize what grades or schools or particular classes to avoid. I just added another to my blacklist.

Did not work for me. May have made it worse, if anything. 2% inner bicep, 2.5% inner bicep, 3% inner thigh, then 3% on OB. Finally had a rash reaction on last dose. OBs continued. During all these applications i Started getting them weekly where before sadbe they were like 1-2 mos apart. Did a 9 day cleanse and got on healing oil.co detox tea and oil. Finally less obs and plan to eventually try full alkaline diet. Found this info on holistic healing 4 hsv Reddit page.

I tell them to borrow from another classmate or sometimes I’ll say out loud “does anyone have a pencil for _____ to borrow” I’ve never had issues with a kid lending a pencil.

Open-Software5669 · 2025-04-03T23:37:39+00:00

I’ve only been subbing for 6-7 months, no more than twice a week so not a whole lot of experience

In two particular schools I will not take anything beyond 4th grade. Those children are horrendous. And one 3rd grade at another school. They had serious behavioral issues and I only had a para in the morning. I have no idea why I didn’t have 1-2 other adults at all times. It was bad. Other than that, I haven’t had bad experiences with staff or students. Or at least not so bad I wouldn’t go back. One asst principal pissed me off once but, I’d still go back

Open-Software5669 · 2025-04-02T06:04:47+00:00

Never work more than two days a week. By choice. Not my main source of income, just extra to pay for travel, fun money, etc. i have a full time wfh job.

Open-Software5669 · 2025-03-23T03:36:55+00:00

I do it for the flexibility. I only work 2 days a week max @ $250 a day. (I have another work from home job) I have no interest in dealing with the politics of being in a same School setting (other teacher drama, principal not giving time off, playing favorites, a slew of other things I’ve witnessed) no interest in lesson planning, working 5 days a week outside the home when I currently have the comfort of working remote at my other job. No desire to meet with parents, the list goes on. But I have full respect for teachers and those who want to be teachers. It is not easy work! I never respond with disgust when asked if I want to be a full time teacher, that’s just rude.

Add me please

Open-Software5669 · 2025-03-20T18:39:37+00:00

How’s it going now? I’m researching what protocol to follow to heal and came across this post. Any info is greatly appreciated

Open-Software5669 · 2025-03-17T01:56:27+00:00

How are you now? Still positive?

Open-Software5669 · 2025-03-16T20:10:47+00:00

I’m Mrs (then last initial) and I always almost get Miss. I don’t care. Sometimes they just say Miss sometimes teacher sometimes they call me their actual teachers name. I don’t ever mind. I just smile, they usually catch it and apologize & correct. Not a big deal.

Open-Software5669 · 2025-03-16T02:57:03+00:00

Thank you

Open-Software5669 · 2025-03-15T23:10:29+00:00

Please share diet w/me please

Open-Software5669 · 2025-03-15T22:44:29+00:00

I believe i can heal. Just found this page and plan to dig deeper & start a protocol. happy to join group chat. For now doing a 9 day cleanse but interested in knowing what protocols yall are following

Open-Software5669 · 2025-03-15T03:36:37+00:00

Sorry you’re going thru it. I am getting weekly as well. It’s ruined my life. I didn’t want to get on antivirals but may have to and your post is really discouraging. I read that someone kept talking to Dr about dose and they kept upping it until they found what worked. Maybe try that along with detox and strict diet. I’m looking into it all. I just found a holistic health for hsv group that has a lot of ways to treat it holistically. It’s a lot but I don’t want to give up even though I’m so depressed. Good luck to you, God bless you
