jealous for the right reason
I'd be jealous if we have the same composition in class but somehow, this teacher's class is performing better. I will obviously celebrate this staff's accomplishment because of their magic bullet....

SEEMS dishonest
Welcome to the age of ambiguity. Name of the game is people know nothing and "don't ask me, I just work here".

not about this case
In the context of the discussion here, I wouldn't have a bone to pick with a sub much less get this person blocked, or perish the thought, fired, if things got done. What I mean by that is if the...

While this guest's style is a little too over the top, I think I understand why the guest was a little too excessive. Common sense tells us that being gentle, civil, and courteous should be the...

What was the basis of the complaint? If you're their ST's supervisor, your job means having to act as a liaison between the school and the practicum office. You may or may not necessarily be in...

talk of the town
I'm sure that you've been a topic of their convo. If nothing's stopping you, I say end the term early if you don't have to stay to finish.
