I'm retired but substitute on a regular basis in a nearby middle school. The
behavior of most students is good but there are a few who are obnoxious,
disrespectful, rude, mean, and evil. Many times I bite my tongue for fear of
saying what I think of the rotten little future inmates! Lately Ive had many of
them tell me "You're not my mother" when I give them direction. My blood
boils and there are many things I'd like to say but..... So what would be a
good retort? Thanks!
