It's early in the year but now I find myself stressing out over things that happened over the course of the school day. Like yesterday, I let an eighth-grader pick up her younger sister. Also, I told a another student her older sister misbehaved in my class, and she said she would tell her mom about it. It does not help that I got banned from a school last year for not "acting like a teacher" Basically I let the instructional aide run the lesson and the assistant principal called me into her office and I was so upset after I couldn't eat dinner. Does anyone stress out over things that happened, things that seem harmless to us that people can make a big deal of?

BLUETTE Not everyone can teach...and subbing is very difficult. I
know someone who subbed once for one day...and decided it
wasn't for him.

I subbed a lot for a few years and have lots of good and
bad experiences to talk about. I taught in 10 schools in 4
districts at the start but stayed with one MS-HS after the
1st year.
