i work for one district, but i sub in any/all of the schools. we tend to refer to them as buildings rather than schools, because they include the preschool, kindergarten center, alternative education opportunities, etc. about every other week i get a split day, where i start at either the freshman building or on of the junior highs and finish up at an elementary school. it means i get a long break, generally from 10:30 til i have to arrive at the school at noon. sounds great, doesnt it? the trade off is that i start at 7:00a and finish at 4p, so its a long day.
so today i started at the freshman building, in a Life Skills class. pretty much they put kids in Life Skills when they're just hoping to keep them occupied because they don't have any real interest in school. not my fave class, obviously. i used my long break to hit a little diner in town that i love. great greasy spoon breaky at 10:30 to tide me over. then, i went over to one of my fave elementaries and finished up the day. but today was a "free day" because they'd been testing all week, and the kids and teachers were all fried from the stress.
i hate free days.
let me just sum up the day by repeating something i'd never been told before: "you're not a teacher. you're a S.U.B. ......the REAL teacher will be back tomorrow." yeah. well, na na na na poo poo to you too. sheeeeesh. then, another kid comes up to me and says, "i don't know why everyone hates you. i think you're nice." uh huh. well, aren't you cute??? you're over here because......???? right, because no one in the class is talking to you because you're HATEFUL??? yeah, that's it.
so, it was just one of those days. i'm whipped. i'm gonna hit all my fave blogs and forums, climb into a hot bath and curl up with a trashy novel and fall asleep with the light on.......sounds heavenly.
