calculator question

by math sub

Oct 23, 2014

Usually math classrooms have calculators in a bin or a shoe bag type holder on the wall. Sometimes the math teacher you are subbing for will include in the instructions something like, "make sure the students return the calculators." Do you go beyond reminding the students at the end of class to return them? I am always worrying that I will be in t...See More

cofio I count them when I first get thee, then I appoint a student to "help me with the count" after each class(I'm usually at the High School level)as sometimes the students can get them back better than I can. It just depends upon the class.

Final Update on Criminal Case

by Octo787

Oct 16, 2014

I wanted to post a final update on the criminal case that I described in a series of posts earlier this year. This update is very simple - today, I met before a panel of 12 assistant DA's and police officers to determine my eligibility for my state's ARD (accelerated rehabilitation disposition) program. My family members and family physician were t...See More

Not really Lady (poster) didn't like the way her neighbor kept her yard up. She decided to "clean" up the neighbors yard. Police issued a tresspass warning to stay off the neighbor's property. She felt compelled to continue her way and got arrested. Even now she feels she did nothing wrong. She got lucky with an intervention, but she will probably offend agai...See More

I know that I feel stressed when I am subbing because I feel at times that so much info is being thrown at me...kind of like hosting a dinner party in a house that ...See More

BJ Try a day or two a week in learning support. It's much more relaxing. Fewer responsibilities.

anonymous You are absolutely on a hot topic that requires a great deal of attention! Stress can cause fatigue, absenteeism, reduced motivation levels and so much more. How can we control stress, if we actually can?

First step, take a relaxing, warm bath with some candles lit to soothe the nerves. Second step, take some time to read an enjoyable nove...See More

Some close calls

by Ze Povinho

Nov 7, 2014

Good evening.

I have been working everyday, but there have been some close calls.

Today I covered a sixth grade class. The behavior was acceptable but there was a girl who kept insisting that I gave her my very personal info. It was getting uncomfortable for me and I finally told her that this was not allowed to give this info. ...See More

Wendy You are paid to work until a specific time. You do not get paid OT and do not have to stay past the required time unless the school is on lockdown. You should have signed out at the specified time and not made mention of it at all. Just leave. If someone brings it up just tell them that you left at the specified time and don't elaborate.

sub book

by Akil

Oct 27, 2014

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good book - like a substitute teaching for dummies that would give basically all the information that someone would need before they started? I guess not all the info, but you know what I mean.

Stacey So I was subbing for a teacher who has been out for two days. Well, yesterday they couldn't get a sub, and regular teachers were coming in cover all day. One of them left a note saying how the class gave her a hard time and she ended it by saying "Why are these subs so lazy? They basically don't have to do anything all day."

Well, I know ...See More
