I remember a few good subs, but only one bad one.

The reason is because he wasn't bad, he was infamously bad, to the point i felt for him. I don't know what his "deal" was, but he couldn't do anything right. At all. His classes were boring(just him reciting text), and when he tried to spruce it up once he came in with a black and white power point with no pictures or anything. He'd often staple packets in the wrong order, and a bunch of just "off" things, like whatever it was, he didn't fully grasp it. It felt like somebody was trying but could not grasp how to properly do anything basic. One teacher, not even the one he was shadowing, said to a completely different class that it was sad for somebody to drop everything they were doing to become a teacher(it seemed like the began in their 30s from different work) and just be so bad at it.

The subs that were just boring or regular bad I don't even remember.

Treat them maturely, to the point, and professional. You might inspire them if you act the part since they, at least from my experience, don't like to be Compared as small fries. The sub teachers underestimating them bugs them when they wish for a little honor at their age. Good luck, friend.

I can remember one good one and one bad one. Good one mostly just made up stories for us to listen to. She even had the lights off to make the atmosphere better for the stories. The bad one made fun of me for not being able to read. It was 1st grade and we were just starting to learn.

minim wage here is 7.25, but even 9 isnt livable. The neighboring school district (where Im going this week) only requires a GED and clean criminal record to be a sub.

Idk. I have a masters degree and it only gets me an extra dollar per hour more than someone with a high school diploma but I need the money so I cant complain I guess

Federally thats about where it is. Though the actual minimum depends on the state. Federal minimum just means a state cant go lower.

anyways. My advice comes from the great Mr Garrison.

just remember these two words present them

Not here it isnt. Before this gig I was an office manager for $12. That job was hella stressful. My regular job is security for a pharmaceutical company.

Im teaching English before lunch and Econ after. Not sure of the grades until I get there.

Fast food jobs are still hovering right below $10/h in my area. Chick Fil A has a manager position open for $13, which is the most Ive seen (but again, is a manager position).

I had four classes. First class was rough. No one payed attention, only one kid did the assignment. One guy was loudly playing TikToks from his phone and generally bothering everyone.

second class was about the same, but this period was handled by a different instructor. I felt less bad about first period once I saw that they really step all over their regular teachers and the teachers just kinda seem to take it.

third period was much chiller. One guy compared me to an unflattering celebrity, but otherwise they all did what they shouldve. This class was about ten seniors and they definitely all gave the impression they were just trying to get out of high school asap.

last period is going on now. Its only two kids. We went over the assignment all together and finished in about 20 minutes. Now theyre each on their phones listening to music or whatever. Waiting for the bell to ring.

Im not sure exactly. I think it was a musician or maybe even just an online celeb. He showed me a picture. I personally didnt think there was a resemblance except for both being overweight, wearing glasses, and having kinda disheveled hair.
