High School Substitutes

Wow. All last week there wasn't ONE DAY that we DID NOT have a substitute in at least ONE class. Let me tell you, it wasn't a pretty sight. Our sub system is sooo messed up. We get substitute gym teachers subbing for special needs classrooms && regular teachers getting subbed for gym teachers. It was complete chaos. None of these subs knew what they were doing. They were changing plans, teaching us the wrong stuff, && making everything more confusing than it really is. I understand that it can be hard being a substitute teacher, but the subs need to let loose && ask for help from the students. Yeah, maybe we ARE crazy teenagers going through horomonial stages in our lives, but trust me, if you come down to our level && talk to us like the human beings we really are, we WILL talk back. So take my advice && take it easy on the subs, because they are doing the best they can & they can't help but be put where they are.
