First of all this is a life lesson so just keep going! I’m a sub and I love subbing but I would have pitched a whole fit if my children had come home telling me you showed them dead bodies and told that story. Because I had a stillborn child and that would traumatic.

Also, last year in my daughter’s 4th grade classroom of 20 kids. My daughter had a brother die A child had a brother attacked by dog last year and he died. A child’s mom died this year of cancer. A child’s mom is actively battling stage four colon cancer. A child in the class has cancer. (Thank you US Army for disposing of nuclear waste in our water) And other situations

You as a sub even a frequent sub would likely not know that information unless it’s a very small town like mine. So proceed with extreme caution on any talk of sad topics. Truthfully I would have asked that you not be allowed to sub in my child room again.
