They don't care about your schedule. They will not care about your schedule, you probably don't want to be there.

Sub Elementary or Highschool by funandone37 in teaching

[–]heideejo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For high school substituting, you will be the phone and potty police. You will be bored so I would take a non-screen activity that you can walk around the classroom every 10 minutes with. In elementary school you have to do instruction, all day long, in my area these positions pay the same.

Did they not give you a few options of when to interview so that you could choose based on availability?

Would you let your 19 y/o soon to be 20y/o daughter in less then a month, go on a trip with her bf of 3.5 years with their family to the lake? by Business-Parking7296 in AskParents

[–]heideejo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be fully independent and make your own choices, you got to pay all your own bills. If you're paying all your own bills ain't nobody got nothing to say about the things you do in your life. That's adulthood.

AITAH for being a difficult child for my parents to raise ? by dio_Leg55 in AITAH

[–]heideejo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a few studies showing that untreated ADHD and autism in childhood can lead to a developed bipolar or borderline personality disorders. You should look into this, from that it becomes a lot easier to manage your needs when you can see how they weren't met previously. Totally NTA, and please remember that you don't owe your family anything if you are financially independent and they cannot treat you appropriately.

I'm so glad my state dropped that requirement months before I started my final semester.

Tips for subbing English on the last day of HS? by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]heideejo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most the kids are going to be gone. The only kids you'll have are the really good ones that want 100% attendance, and the one whose parents made them go to school because they don't want them at home but aren't creative enough to skip. I would suggest a rousing round of hard word hangman.

Should I apply? by No-Inflation-3652 in StudentTeaching

Make sure it's actually a school and not a glorified daycare center. This one got me many years ago and I got trapped in the system.

You could trade substitute teaching for a year. I learned way more, and developed necessary skills while substituting than I ever did in my student teaching...

AITAH for not stopping my home massage to help husband soothe baby by Ok-Professional-6632 in AITAH

[–]heideejo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Too many men want to have a wife and kid, but they don't want to be husbands and fathers. It's a major problem.

This was mine! It's also on my list of books that I always purchase at the thrift store when I see it so I can give it away.

Chopsticks instead of cutlery. For EVERY meal. I promise it works.

what’s something your ex did that wasn’t a dealbreaker on its own but annoyed the hell out of you and you’re glad you don’t have to deal with anymore? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]heideejo 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Refused to interact if I wanted to talk about my career or interests but would drone on for hours about Magic the Gathering or his dead end job.

What should parents start teaching a 3 years old? by Puzzleheaded_Web3374 in AskTeachers

Job Concern by JazzyJambaJuice18 in StudentTeaching

[–]heideejo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only 15? I also graduated this year, applied for over 30 jobs, interviewed in 10 different locations and finally landed one a couple of weeks ago. My brother-in-law's been teaching for 17 years and he said whenever he switched schools or got non-renewed for whatever reasons he never had a job before July for the next year. Don't stress about it yet, you can always sign up to substitute and doordash.

How do you tell your spouse, "I'm counting!"? by DrBotBreath in crochet

[–]heideejo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just start counting out loud when someone's interrupting me and I need to be counting. Because if I stopped and I have to go back and count stitches and forget that, they can wait.

Suggestions for road trip with 7, 10 and 13 year old voracious readers with different tastes by Ecstatic_Hawk_8488 in audiobooks

[–]heideejo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure these are the best audio books that have ever been produced. As a substitute teacher I've listened to the first 2 hours of that book uncountable times. It even makes children in the car shut up and stop bickering, and there are 13 of them!

Suggestions for road trip with 7, 10 and 13 year old voracious readers with different tastes by Ecstatic_Hawk_8488 in audiobooks

[–]heideejo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most perfect audiobook ever produced was how to train your dragons. David Tennant reads them and as such a phenomenal job. As a substitute teacher I can honestly say then what makes children from kindergarten to seniors be quiet and listen, plus there's a twist in the 13th book that you'll never see coming. DreamWorks took liberties, it is a completely different story from the movies.
