Substitute teaching

This isn't exactly a response directly to your question, but it's from a different point of view. I've been teaching high school English for 41 years, and that's given me some insights into the ways of subs. The most important thing to do is to follow directions. Last school year, I got a rather rude note from a sub for not leaving a specific lesson plan. This note was written on the back of the lesson plans! Then there are the subs, and there have been many over that many years, who tell the kids the lesson plan is boring, so they don't hav to do it! Leave the editorializing to the professionals at the newspappers, please. Others will tell the kids they never liked Shakespeare or Beowulf or whatever the lesson is, so they can watch tv or just talk or somethng instead of doing it. If you have any problems or don't understand what to do, as nearby teachers. They usually know us well enough to know what we intend for the kids to do, and they're glad to help. More than anything, project confidence, and you can get through it quite well. Good luck!

I subbed while I was pregnant, the only job I could get, and it def takes a special person to do it. And that person is not me! lol!!
