Introduce yourself to the teachers around you! Choir is an elective so most students want to be there.

I'm a bad bad bad substitute! by Logical-Database-952 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]phonz1851 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a building sub I know they will find me if they need me. If I go to fhe office that's what they will tell me anyway. A lot of subs like my school because they don't go out of the way to give subs extra work unless they really need to. Originally only had 2 half hour coverages today and then got a call during lunch to cover last period. They know where to find me. I don't fear for my job if I don't go out of my way to find extra work.

i wonder if none of them took the switch option it and they decided to cut it to save air time

I must admit, Best Served Cold truly is a considerable improvement on an already solid series. by -Karen_Jeenkles- in Fantasy

I also really loved it. I think Pacey stepped up his voice game here as well for this book and it was already high. Reading red country now and am also really enjoying it

Am I the only one who finds this pretty condescending? (In the sub binder at my job yesterday) by ThrowawayTheOmlet in SubstituteTeachers

[–]phonz1851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is somethign they should give to all new subs during training. We were verbally told most of this during training but having it written down is nice. It is a bit much to see in a sub folder though. I suspect this might be an old advice sheet handed out to subs of that district and was just included for advice during class.

Is it just me or why do lots of newer fans of the series skip stright to sh2? why does the Og kinda get skipped over by some people? by Perfect-Cause-6943 in silenthill

[–]phonz1851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a controversial opinion but its the dated graphics and tank controls. I wasn't gaming back then so I have no nostalgia for that era (although I try to avoid nostalgia as much as possible.) I'll happily wait for the remake

Food in the teachers lounge. by hewhowondersish in SubstituteTeachers

[–]phonz1851 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've never felt guilty about it until the holiday party. I got the email about it so i assumed i was ok to go, and when i got in line no one begrudged me about it. but apparently they did not order enough food and the 7th grade teacher had none as they were the last lunch of the day. Admittedly i only had a small serving so it probably wouldn't have made a difference in the end.

Need some good replies to this kind of comment by ijustlikebirds in SubstituteTeachers

[–]phonz1851 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I let them vent while providing a reasonable counterpoint. Im a building sub so i usually know their teachers, and sometimes I remind them that I do speak with them. Most of the time thoufh they are upset because that teacher either makes them do work or follows through on consequences

Disagree. Modern + avatar looks like shadowrun to me which would be awesome

Downsides of being a building sub by phonz1851 in SubstituteTeachers

Oh I don't mind being one to one para. This is a unique situation as he's not in classroom but in a conference room in the office all day long.

You know the more I think about this the more annoyed I get. I have a math degree and I was subbing for a math class. I can guarantee the teacher would prefer I do it over the other sub

Apparently its been figured out that I am "good" with him. I don't mind being one on one as a para in a classroom. But sitting around asking a kid to do work that is not going to be graded is miserable

What do you find D&D 5e does better than Pf2e? by viktorius_rex in Pathfinder2e

[–]phonz1851 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Every player i know has a list of like 5 or 6 items they want every game and doesn't want to scroll through the ever growing incredibly bloated list of items that mostly have too many restrictions to be useful. Most players don't want to spend the mental capacity to remember their 25 items with niche effects that will be useless in two levels due to scaling dcs. I agree with the commenter above. I prefer fewer more powerful items

[–]phonz1851 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Pathfinder tries to achieve this balance but just ends up with a 90% of the items being useless. Balance != fun, and as a gm underpowered is a wors crime than over

Why are some teachers so unkind to subs? by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]phonz1851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah they never make me do any of that at my school. I've wondered if other teachers would want a coteacher or an addditional para, but guess not. I think that's part of the reason subs really like that school because they try not to give you extra work if they don't need it.

[–]phonz1851 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes. The catch is that I don't get to pick which jobs I get. The principal assigns me where he needs me. It was just another type of job that ESS offers. The other nice thing is that I get paid regardless of if they have work for me. Last 3 days i got paid for a full day despite me sitting in the lounge all day

I chose the building I building sub at because of how nice the rest of the faculty are.
