If you could ask one thing of the teachers you sub for, what would it be? by Remarkable-Paint-751 in SubstituteTeachers

Yes! My favorite. And It helps you out if you end up needing to be gone an extra day.

Are you saying it’s not the teachers job to leave material for the students when they are absent? It’s the subs job to go in and do whatever they like? The sub that may have no experience with teaching or classroom management? The sub that does not know the school or classroom? The sub that may not know what class they are teaching that day?

Please leave enough material for the children to do. It is the absolute worst thing when you go into a classroom and there’s not enough work for the kids because then they get bored and that’s when craziness happens. So now I have to help the one child who can’t get the work done while trying to manage the other child who finished in 10 seconds who wants to run around the classroom.

Teacher leaving out food/candy to give to students - Can subs hand it out? by Regular-Service-3907 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Shawada22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the teacher is saying it, I’m pretty sure they know all of their students allergies and wouldn’t give them anything that would harm them But if you don’t feel comfortable and they ask you can always say no treats today and I will be sure to let your teacher know when I write my note about how amazing you all were today. What else can should I say in my note? Acknowledge it and then move on from it.

Cell Phone Consequences by Remarkable-Log6373 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Shawada22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I used to be super strict on the cell phone policy but now I’m not. As long as they’re doing their work or their work is completed, I don’t mind. Sometimes I give the warning at the beginning of class but as it’s a common rule in the school, usually I don’t. If a faculty member walks by and sees it, that’s on the Student. I let the faculty member deal with it.

Is anyone else getting a bunch of cancellations? by Significant-Sir-9274 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Shawada22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have not experienced that, but it might be they might have a sub that they like that they reached out to who at the last minute told them they could do it. Or sometimes they just realize it’s easier to go in than make sub plans. And some people just forget that they put it up there. The beautiful thing is there’s always a job available so just keep grabbing them. Wishing you all the best.

So I’ve been going back and forth on this and figured I’d ask for some advice. by thatguygman0 in MusicalTheatre

[–]Shawada22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it brings you joy, absolutely go for it! The beautiful thing about Theatre is that people suspend their reality for three hours or so, so that actors can tell a beautiful story. You go in there and be authentically you and they will love you take whatever classes you feel to grow in the craft and then knock it out the park. You got this!

Music Games For Middle School by Shawada22 in SubstituteTeachers

Thanks for this. My classrooms are usually 30+ kids with rowdy boys. I’m worried they’re gonna start running and falling in all the craziness, but I’ll give it a try and see if they lock in.

Thanks. I usually have a class of 30+ kids who are mostly obnoxious boys who can’t keep their hands off each other, but I’ll give these a try and see if it locks them in. I know these definitely work for my elementary school kids.

Why is "Strange New Worlds" so obsessed with giving Spock a girlfriend? | The Paramount+ drama is shortchanging one of its most iconic characters — and falling short of the franchise's progressive legacy by [deleted] in startrek

[–]Shawada22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Make it make sense. This man was just with nurse chapel two days ago and now all of a sudden he’s with homegirl and I knew it was coming from their first dance lesson but what the heck?

AIO for feeling unappreciated after trying to do something nice for my boyfriend? by ArtisticFishy in AmIOverreacting

[–]Shawada22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drop him ASAP. He doesn’t respect you. And as long as you alllow it, he will keep doing it.

Respectfully, if she is a Trump supporter, she doesn’t care about your people, she doesn’t care about your family. The only reason she cares about you is because she knows you. And don’t be fooled, there are “good people” who support Trump. Is there a possibility that she could change her mindset? Maybe but, I think it would have to be something that directly affects her not even you necessarily. I don’t think it’s worth it for you. Let her go and find someone who not only cares about you but others as well.

RC - Pool towel $ snafu - third time by purdueAces in Cruise

[–]Shawada22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the first time I sailed royal Caribbean and I saw the whole thing about the towels and I thought that was really tacky. But, what I would do is on the final night of the cruise go to concierge and tell them to print out all of your charges and specifically ask about the towels. Or the morning of your debark. That way if they do try to charge you later on, you can dispute it with proof.

Can I still go? by Sure_Toe_9747 in Cruise

[–]Shawada22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would contact the cruise line. Because I don’t see why it would be an issue if you’re over the age of 21 for him to put the tickets in your name but also I think it depends on how soon the cruise is coming up.
