I am curious, what state?
I retired on a hearing disability, I do not know if I could sub or not, but, am thinking of looking in to it.
Do they take out Social Security and stuff like that?

My Mom was a lefty and school insisted on being right handed, so I learned to write with either hand....Whenever I notice a student writing left-handed, I ask "so... how long have you been left-handed"?
They get this puzzled look, then reply "all my life"
To which I reply "me too- true story".
Sometimes I connect with students on the simplest of levels.
It builds credibility.
Every now and then something happens, and I think, God just bitchslapped me for the way we did Mrs. Spence!My sub teachers would get the Playboy fold out when they pulled down the screen, thanks to the Bart in me...

They should be glad that super glue was not on the market when we were kids.....Every now and then something happens, and I think, God just bitchslapped me for the way we did Mrs. Spence!My sub teachers would get the Playboy fold out when they pulled down the screen, thanks to the Bart in me...
I think maybe I taught all those years as penance for being such a bastard to my teachers.
Hey, I was bored, what can I say!
Yeah, but today's kids never have known the innocent joys of cherry-bombing for shits and giggles.They should be glad that super glue was not on the market when we were kids.....Every now and then something happens, and I think, God just bitchslapped me for the way we did Mrs. Spence!My sub teachers would get the Playboy fold out when they pulled down the screen, thanks to the Bart in me...

I've made a couple of posts in the Coffee Shop but figured to just start a thread.
I subbed for 5-6 years before, but it's been quite a while. I recently started back up again and wish I'd done so earlier. It's like I picked up where I left off... which is a good thing. I'm comfortable and confident around the kids and that's crucial, because these little shits can smell fear. And they'll take advantage of it.
These are just fun anecdotal experiences and I'll try to post them when I can.
Today was High School French. The teacher had me show a couple of the classes the movie Tin-Tin. No other instructions. So I set it up to play in French, with English subtitles.
Afterwards, asked the classes "did you notice that a dog barking in French sounds the same as a dog barking in English"?
No wonder the kids are dumb....I quickly learned that I can only take 3 days per week of this. Oofah. I've done Tue/Wed/Thur and need a break. At least that's $240 I didn't have before the week started.
I got three calls to sub tomorrow, but I've got an 8am meeting and duties at my office. Besides, the oil needs changed in the Jeep (long overdue) and I've got to have it at the shop by 9am.
Today I went back to the Ag classroom at the "country" school. Surprisingly, most of the kids remembered me. The teacher had plenty for each class, but invariably they descended into controlled chaos during the last 15 minutes.
Another teacher brought a student to me during my "prep" (free) period. A sixth grade dancer. The teacher knows my daughter is a dancer and wanted me to share her experiences. I was flattered.
During study hall, I heard one kid complain about how he hates the "job shadowing" assignments. He's expected to go to Wal Mart 15 miles away and spend the day with the manager. I told him that he's welcome to spend a day with Mr. H. and learn about the oil business. He really perked up at that. So we're trying to get it arranged for next month.
In the Ag classroom, there were posters illustrating the different cuts of beef. I asked the class if they knew the difference between "loin" and "sirloin". I told them that sirloin was knighted and that's why they call it sir loin.
