Just a Substitute Teacher. The Blog adventures of a Substitute Teacher. Wednesday, June 03, 2015. They Tell Me I Must Be Crazy. There are only seven days left of school before summer break. I'm signed up to work the last six, in three classrooms, at two different schools, for three different teachers. Everyone is telling me, I must be crazy. I'm starting to believe them. It must be frustrating trying to get into the right mental zone for three different classrooms. 12:02 PM, April 06, 2016. Sleep Depriva...

Just a Substitute Teacher. The Blog adventures of a Substitute Teacher. Monday, June 16, 2014. Grade class concluded my 10. Year working as a substitute teacher. The official last day of school was Friday the following day. The only outburst of excitement came from a boy in the 3. Grade classroom next door: "YIPPEE! I don't have to go to 4. Shall we hopefully assume he's skipping directly into 5. Links to this post. Friday, June 13, 2014. My Father's Day Gift. From my son, posted to my FB page. It's thos...

This entire year, the sub line has been busy. I have had to make sure to take myself off the list the night before if I wanted a day off. I have come to hate that phone call at 05:30am. If I don't have an assignment by the time I go to bed, I'm off the list. I hear that you're getting a $15/day raise next near.". What Does Home Mean? White ...

Just a Substitute Teacher. The Blog adventures of a Substitute Teacher. Friday, April 03, 2015. It didn't occur to me the significance of the date until I entered the school office to see an aide worker's desk covered in tin foil. The office informed me that the entire 6th grade had subs today while the teachers were out for some kind of training. That explained the 4-5 faces in the teachers' lounge that I didn't recognized. With door key and attendance sheet in hand, I went to the pool of 6. I let it ha...

Just a Substitute Teacher. The Blog adventures of a Substitute Teacher. Sunday, February 22, 2015. Perfect Storm, Subbing Wise. The year I decided to cut back on assignments is the year that the district says they are extremely short of subs. They blame the recovering economy for subs leaving the sub pool to return to full time, better paying jobs. Judging by the number of emails I am getting, I'm pretty sure I could work almost every school day for the rest of the school year if I wanted. The US Secreta...

Just a Substitute Teacher. The Blog adventures of a Substitute Teacher. Tuesday, May 05, 2015. She Got My Number. It's the end of the day in this 4. Grade class. Half the class left when the bell rang and the most of other half drifted out while I was finishing my notes and status report. I'm almost ready to lock the doors and shoo the lingerers out but one girl is tearing her desk and backpack apart looking for something. Her friend is trying to help without success. She can't find her cell phone. I mus...

That's Not The Way We Usually Do It! Stories from a woman who is spending her prime earning years working a thankless, sometimes horrible, sometimes wonderful, semi-professional job that pays less than she earned as a waitress in college. Tuesday, May 3, 2011. My blog is my sty. Good answer a 15 year old boy can give to that awkward, potentially incriminating question? Dabbled in date-raping, I found girls usually just said, 'WHAT do you think you're doing? They won't even know you are there. Me: - - -.
