I will set a good example for the children because i am the Teacher.

I am the Teacher.

Now you can write that on the board 100 times Wolfy................

I just had my first sub assignment last Friday and had to give a stern lecture to a class of third graders about respect. Mind you - I am not a cool sub. The kids were allowed to do a special Friday thing with sitting in front of a light and reading poetry. The 2nd kid to get up left in a stream of tears because 2 kids laughed. This rankled me to no end. I turned on the lights and gave them the "die bit-ch die" look and proceeded to tell them what respect means. AND - I told them I would not allow ANY disrepect toward another person. If they chose that route they could sit with their nose on their desk until the end of the day.

Jives and Chonsi - where are you????

hey how's BTS?????

He waaaayyyyy overdid it yesterday. He is recovering today - thanks for asking :-4

Here NV! Well, I think you did well to talk to them about respect. Remember when subbing, you do not have to follow all the teacher's instructions to the letter. If something they suggest does not seem a good idea, toss it out for one of your own. The reward for the class should be done by the teacher themself, not the sub. If they have too much free time, take out those multiplication tables and division for that grade level, and give them busy work to keep their minds and hands busy.

omg...how funny! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS TODAY!

glad i could help.

Best kid story of the day..................

I wrote a bathroom pass for two lovely innocent 12 year old girls who were gone a long time. The school secretary was walking by and caught them writing some really bad graffiti in the bathrooms, black markers in their hands. They both protested they were innocently trying to erase such bad things on the wall, and cried in the office all day their innocence until their parents picked them up!

I remember giving that same lecture many times over my career. They should actually put it in the curriculum. I'm sure it gets given every year by every teacher. LOL

I loved being the principal when some poor child was sent to the office for telling the teacher to "f___o___". First you ask them to repeat what they said-now that's torture. Then you ask them to dial their home. When mom answers you say now tell your mother exactly what you said--torture doesn't even come close to describing it. You talk about squirming. LOL

No other punishment needed.

It's even better when the kid speaks another language, and they don't believe you can too. I called home yesterday and told a parent how rude his child was to me in class, all in Spanish. The kid walked in this morning and ignored me, like I was a brick in the wall-didn't say a peep all day. Won't be rude for awhile I think.

:wah:

I love it. LOL
