Always take the high road on any and all "slights" or perception of slights. You will not regret it!

Today, I subbed for a teacher who left virtually no lesson plans. No Sub binder, or other info.

As I'm explaining the class assignment to a group of Middle Schoolers, I find that I'm talking over a pair of people in the room. One was obviously a student, the other was dressed like one. When I sternly told them to keep quiet, one of them replied with "I'm trying to help him- I'm on the staff here".
Well dear para: It would have helped if you HAD INTRODUCED YOURSELF to me at the beginning of the period. It would have helped if you HAD WORN YOUR STAFF ID BADGE instead of having it in your pocket! And if those previous thoughts of mine don't make sense, whatever happened to common courtesy? i.e. someone is talking before you entered the room implies that you keep quiet?
You're "on the staff". So is the custodian!
Seeking information on pay rate in any or all NV counties. Feel free to pass along other info too!
Why is that 1 sub teacher is expected to cover for 2 absent co-teachers? On occasion, I've discovered that schools are requesting one sub for co-teaching ("ICT") classes. If the regular teacher operates with extra staff, how can a sub be effective operating solo under these circumstances?
I looked at the calendar the other day and realized I have already been in around 35 different classrooms this school year. I have told a few regular teachers and staff members that figure and they are amazed. I am sure I am not the only one who has been in so many classrooms. We are brave souls at times, aren't we?
Just an update to say that I, too, have been subbing a lot since the first day of school. I have jobs lined up for November and December, too. I believe part of the reason I'm in such demand is because retired teachers now make the same amount of subbing money as people like me do. It seems unfair to me, but I'm glad to be in such demand.

I'm still feeling good even though I was just diagnosed with chronic kidney disease 2 and sleep apnea. Working on getting those under control as best as I can.
Over the summer, I combined all of the poems I wrote after my mother died into books, along with some other poems I wrote and the story of my mother's life. It was a fun, but sometimes frustrating, summer project.
Tomorrow, I have the third day of subbing for a particular elem. school music teacher - grades 5 & 6. I hope all goes well. Then there's the weekend. Yay!
Is everyone working again? Jobs are not plentiful but i have worked two days. BTW, why is this board now divided into boxes? The main teacher board still looks the same as i always has.
We have about five weeks left before the next school year starts back up. This summer vacation sure went by pretty quickly. With all of the current events going on. I sure hope that we can pull it together and that things can run smoothly. Cheers to the new year :)
