Construction- gotta love it. Construction on the roads, construction of buildings, and so on. Just yesteday when I went to vote- nice short lines by the way, a far cry from the two-hour wait I expected- one of the volunteers there noticed where I live and mentioned she lives down the street in a two-story […]

My three day assignment that was cancelled earlier this week would have been at the school I wound up at today. You can say it turned into a one day assignment I suppose. Oddly enough, the teacher I would have subbed for was the “team teacher” in two of the classes. In those classes I
And mostly due to my laziness I am subbing once again, and that is good news for this blog. I have been on hiatus from this for too long. I still intend to have some posts of my life outside of teaching, but for a while I have just been turned off from writing during

Okay, now that I’m back I will finish up the rest of yesterday. I mentioned that they had gone through one time practicing picking up diplomas (at least eight Patels by the way 😛 ). Once finished, they all had to stand up one last time (“and now presenting the class of 2008”) and then

Well, I was up a little early to find a job for the day, and I find myself with a little time so I will try to write this before I leave. So why a part two? Simply put, I subbed for 8th grade yesterday. Actually, the teacher does both 7th and 8th, but she
I am very tired so I will make this one quick. Besides, it was PE again, at the same school as Friday, so there isn’t much to say about it. Kickball again. The only real difference was I had 8th grade health instead of 6th, so I had the 6th graders for PE instead of
I keep meaning to mention this bit of info. Or maybe I already did but don’t remember. In any event, I was at a middle school doing PE, but you already knew that. Unlike Thursday’s PE, we actually got to go outside. Well, there were two periods of sixth grade health, but that’s why I
I was in conversation with another teacher and he happened to say this about the current eighth grade class. After today I would agree on this for a few students with a wish that they would grow up soon. These students are the ones teachers have in mind when they say they will never teach
They will not be missed… Read More »
I’ve been subbing for a few years, and I have to say that Friday was the first time I ever subbed in the sort of position I was in. The teacher seemed to be like a glorified teacher assistant, though of course I don’t know the extent of her duties outside the realm of what

Well, today I was a floater at a middle school, meaning that I would sub for different teachers throughout the day as they went to meetings. When I arrived they gave me a list. Four classes. Were they serious? I thought I had it fairly easy yesterday with five classes (in middle school six is
