<p>this thread is strictly related to the name of this subforum</p>
<p>at my school, students treat subs like they are stupid, or at least like they are drop-outs from middle school. some would hide the folder containing in class assignments, and the next day cry to the teacher that the sub was stupid and senile. i sympathize all these poor subs</p>
<p>i think kids are shrewd enough to realize that subs aren’t around to punish them, whereas their regular teachers are</p>
<p>snobs</p>
<p>it depends on the class. in ceramics all the beginners go nuts and act so immature, but the advanced people just work their butts off like always because we have a deadline for our projects. in most of my classes the sub just tells us to work on something, and everyone just does other classes’ work or do the assignment that the sub assigns. since this is my junior year, nobody really treats the subs badly like they did in freshman and sophomore years. right now everyone is so loaded up with work that they just don’t have the energy to mess with the subs.</p>
<p>People here just do other work, since the subs rarely do know anything or are any good at teaching. However, there are a few who are good (we once had an engineer teaching chemistry, and she did a better job than even our normal teacher, and another English master’s holder who taught us for a year before becoming a teacher the next because she did so well), but many just sit and do nothing. We will just skip and go to the library to study other subjects if we see a sub in class.</p>
<p>One of the subs brings us on “Airplane” rides complete with Stretching stops down in Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, New York, wherever the days flights are and snack breaks of soynuts or dark chocolate…and if you haven’t been eating well, I feel bad for you because you will be disiciplined for it…</p>
<p>People must not travel much there for that to happen…</p>
<p>I don’t think you understand. We are on the specific flight…last time was Flight 9947 to St. Louis while I worked on some net ionic equations and enjoyed dark chocolate and sunflower seeds provided by the flight attendent. It’s very funny because the first time you go on a flight, you are just baffled at what’s going on…after having him though, you ask him where you will be traveling to and you get excited to see him as the teacher.</p>
<p>Why do you fly all over the country when he is a teacher? Do you take a class in travel? Or is he a former flight attendant turned teacher?</p>
<p>I had a sub this week that looked like Colonel Mustard.</p>
<p>how do your friends treat substitute teachers? </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>great job at answering questions</p>
<p>I know. It explains terrible scores on quizzes.</p>
<p>forgive me, but i recall somewhere that you have three digit averages and do not take finals?</p>
<p>I love Colonel Mustard!! I had this one guy that looked like Ali Babba</p>
<p>About the travel…it’s just a kook. He writes the travel schedule on the board (work schedule) and tells people to take their seats and runs around and then writes it all on the board. He’s crazy! There is no travel class but this man is eccentric. He talks like Piglet from Winnie the Pooh and makes sure we eat and sleep well. Ive had him for many classes and the teachers are so confused when they return and see the travel schedule on the board.</p>
<p>3-digit average? Not usually. Only if it’s a math class I can get EC in.</p>
<p>I want crazy, eccentric subs. A few weeks ago we had this really nice sub in Psych. We had a bunch of test-essays/free responses we had to write (5 in all?) that day. The directions my teacher left said we couldn’t use books/notes, so he let us use eachother out in the breakout.</p>
<p>There was a sub freshmen year (I swear we have over 50 subs that come and go during a year) and he called a kid an ******* and a girl (well he called a boy a girl as an insult) and gave him the finger. He was in the class next to mine and the principal somehow found out and he was taken out of the class and she finished teaching. I wish I was there to hear this guy dish out insults.</p>
<p>lb, excuse my idiocy, i apparently misspelled the title
*what kind of subs do you want?"</p>
<p>and ll, we had a sub who gave us a lengthy lecture on why we must say the pledge. he apologized to us the next day in a letter</p>
<p>We had a student tecaher blow something up a few days ago. The ceiling has burn marks. It wasn’t in my class though. Oh well, that’s what happens you put biology students in a chem class…</p>
<p>And I wasn’t complaining about colonel mustard. I don’t really know what kind of subs I want. Roasted Turkey?</p>
<p>We used to have this one sub from Germany and all the teachers hated her because she never followed the lesson plan. I remember in history freshman year, she was like “it says you’re supposed to learn about so and so, but I don’t feel like teaching that. I’ll teach you real history…” And she lectured for 2 hours about what Germany was like before and after World War 2. It was pretty fascinating stuff actually. Most of the subs we have are pretty mediocore though :(</p>
<p>i stared at roasted turkey for 10 seconds and still can’t understand it. you want a roasted turkey?</p>
<p>zpm, i’d love to have a communist sub for a day or two in history</p>
<p>P.S.
One time, we had this sub in school and there was a huge earthquake (6.2ish I think?). He runs out of the room screaming “every man for himself” and we watched him run all the way to his car and drive away. We never saw him again…</p>
<p>Roasted turkey sub sandwich?</p>
<p>Ya know what directions the teacher left for Colonel Mustard? Word for word…
“Hand out packet. They will do it.” That’s it. Of course, the directions for the other classes were a bit more specific.</p>
