Love middle school

Good suggestions. I only sub middle/high school. When kids are talking or ignoring me, I stop, fold my arms, and silently wait. 20 years of middle school teaching. I stare at the offenders. It takes...

No cafeteria duty.

I sub middle and high school. They aren’t extending the day. Now it’s 8:00-1:00. Students get a snack. They also have sack lunches to take home if they want. Teachers meet remotely with small groups...

District going back March 1

Rumor has it that they will offer full time in school classes beginning March 1. Remote will still be available. I’m due next week for my second shot. Still leery of going into the full classrooms...

Lots of good advice

I only sub high school and middle school. During COVID, it’s more like babysitting. The only problems I have had are when students I don’t know try to get away with stuff. Generally, though, what...

Let me add

I have had teachers email me their plans and even PowerPoint presentations. Those are teachers I know well from subbing or from before retirement. That way, I am able to have one in case I can’t get...

Covid and emailing

1. As a retired teacher, I would not respond to an anonymous email. Never. It might be a parent, a student, or just a person who wants to make trouble.
2. Go to the school or district website. It...

Welcome to the club!

Spent most of my career in 8th grade and two years in 7th grade. It was truly an adventure. And I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

My experiences

At the beginning of the year, except for p.e., I basically was there to watch the kids in person. They would do assignments posted on the classroom, and I did nothing online. P.E. Was different. I...

First day back

What was I thinking? Haven’t worked since before Thanksgiving, when schools went full remote. They are still full remote until the 19th. I can do Google meets and zoom. Hope the teacher has all set...

Ima Teacher

I had a 7/7 and took two nighttime Aleves an hour later. Not as impressive as your deed, though.

Didn’t think of that.

I have my teacher certification, but it’s for retired teachers. I have a really old teacher ID. Maybe the district will issue a letter saying that we are sub teachers. Good question to ask when...

I saw those.

I usually set mine in the sink if it’s clean. Otherwise, I have a plastic cutting board that doubles as a lid holder.

Zoom and check-ins.

Most of my jobs have been either supervising in person students while the quarantined teacher teaches from home or supervising students at school while they do work that the teacher has assigned on...

I think you need a code.

I was emailed a code from my district office. I still have Jobulator, because it keeps me logged in. I used the frontline app once, and lost a job because of the few seconds it took to sign in.

If we go past 11:30, it’s a full day. EVEN with our hybrid 1:00 release! They are THAT desperate for subs!

I’m not sure I’ll get unemployment

But I will apply. It’s due to Covid, and I did qualify last spring until I began subbing this fall. I don’t get a lot, but everything helps.

This sounds like nothing I’ve experienced as a sub with in-person Learner’s. Yes, students are on screens. But teachers, if the weather is good, have been teaching outside. One teacher uses an alcove...

Sub training.

If you don’t have an education degree, in Illinois you must have training. You must be 18 with at least a high school diploma. I believe the training is 7 hours, and you must pass a test afterwards....

Welp...unemployment next

I have two sub jobs at the beginning of the week. Then....unemployment until at least Jan. 19. Sigh.... Going all remote, which I know is necessary, but still is a pain.

I’ve subbed hybrid

High school and middle school. Teachers taught from home and I supervised, or teachers posted assignments or videos of their teaching on Classroom, and I supervised. I have taught p.e. At the middle...

Phone disasters.

Lawn mower. God manure pit. Combined. Fell in a lake. And those are just my hubby's phones.

Corn dust is awful, so I’m still wearing a mask.

When your district is full remote

8th grade boys

Brains go south. However, about sophomore year, it seems as if something clicks, and they care about others. I’ve subbed in a civics class several times, and the conversations are very enlightening.

Full remote one more week at least

Rural district. Bus driver tested positive. Now the entire transportation department is quarantined. And the students on that bus. So, I get a week off. Again.
