What's the naughtiest thing you did or your peers did to a substitute?

[meetkitty123]

Today my class had a substitute for most of the period. I needed to stop and discuss something with another teacher. I figured the kids should be fine. After all they're with an adult. I met with the teacher. Then made my way to the class.

As the classroom came into sight I slowed. A man I did not recognize was hovering by the classroom door. With everything going on now a days I became alert and quickly searched him over... For some sort of indication he worked here. Seeing the badge I relaxed. Then I thought "sub" and continued. Only to pause completely in my tracks.

"Wait why is he standing outside the classroom?" It took me a sec before I lightly wracked myself on my forehead... I couldn't help the snicker of mixed annoyed humor. " Of course it would be these kids of all the kids in the school to be the ones to lock a substitute out of the class!" I made haste and approached the man.

I said Hi. He looked flustered. "They locked you out didn't they?" He went even redder and nodded. I banged on the class door. No response. I said wait here and proceeded to get security and head of the house.

We were finally let in. Now the head of the house isn't someone most kids mess with (even I avoid him) however this group of infamous kids have been known to try even him though they always backed down... To him.

Where normally I am calm and patient I suddenly cut the Head of the house off and took over the scolding of my class. This class of rowdy kids looked like they wanted to crawl under their desks. Heads and shoulders slumped. I used tactics which made them feel ashamed of their behavior... My method compliment them and then point out what they should have done and avoid calling them "bad". I straightened them out and the head of the house walked away giving me girth.

The rest of the class period went smoothly.

I felt really bad for the sub. He was rather embarrassed as news carried around the school of what happened to him.

I'd say it was more rude than anything, I didn't feel like being in class so I walked out in front of the class and substitute, he only followed me to the door of the classroom and I walked away saying nothing, if ima be honest I still don't know what he was telling me til this day

[MementoMori777]

Wait nevermind it might have been the normal teacher

[meetkitty123]

That's funny we have a few of those who wander off. It's a pain in the butt to track them down. Kids don't understand the pressure we are under to make certain we know where each person who is under our care is at all times. Especially now a days when security is taken very seriously

[MementoMori777]

What do you do if that kid leaves the school tho? Lol

[meetkitty123]

It's funny because I can so relate I can see exactly how you must have been and how the teacher must have reacted. When kids do that I don't think "hey get back in here"... Because I want to control them and make their lives hell. It's driven by a fear that if something happens to them or they do something dumb to another or walk off school grounds A it's my ass B they or another person can be seriously hurt C it's sucks when they already have a rep yet they honestly simply took off but they didn't do anything else wrong but something happens (bathroom get vandalized for example) these kids are the first to get blamed... Even without proof... I hate that. It's like they can't catch a break... And it causes them to rebel more

[MementoMori777]

Yea I simply hated school because they don't make it fun to learn at all, it was more of a prison, you have to ask to go to the bathroom, vandalism sounds like the best outcome, I would leave the school and drug dealers to then sell them in school, now clearly now I'm not proud of it but any of those robberies could've turned to shootouts, now that you are telling me that teachers and substitutes are responsible, makes me feel worse no lie.

[MementoMori777]

So what type of punishments do y'all get if something goes south?

[MementoMori777]

Rob, forgot to mention that lol

[meetkitty123]

We get fired we are making basic pay and have kids/family of our own to fend for. most teachers are in this sort of job because they honestly want to help kids... We ditch out easily over 4grand a year just to maintain our classroom supplies or giving kids lunches when they don't have money another thing is our job never ends clock out might be at 3:00 but my work comes on with me I have homework to do and I don't get paid for that there is sometimes where we're up to midnight with lessons or corrections or studying ourselves so we can properly teach and again we don't get paid for that... If a child goes missing we need to report it immediately heaven forbid something awful happens to them... Luckily I say 85 to 90 percent of the time the kid is just blowing off steam but an example I can give you is one child recently last week went missing from a highschool and she took off it was reported to the cops and cops went out searching for her but the girl never made it home cops are believing it was a kidnapping she was snatched while walking home we still don't know where she is

[MementoMori777]

Damn that sucks, I hope that girl is fine wherever she is, may God bless her soul I gotta say most teachers don't care about the kids like you do, or at least not at the school I went too, most were people with criminal records that were given a second chance I guess, I would search up some teachers and they would have a criminal record with a mugshot, one was arrested for assault and another was arrested for loitering and stalking his ex wife, I've heard of others too but either ways I think it's stupid that they have to pay for the supplies and stuff, also I also realized there's creeps that be around the schools as well, in my area there was some late 20s early 30s dude that would go to the school after school and pick up teenage girls, you'd see him everyday with his shitbox car and his little grills smiling, driving into the school smh, I gotta say teachers like you don't deserve the abuse from some children but I know teachers that do

[whirled_up_girl]

In my classes we really liked our regular teachers. So if we were bad to the substitute the regular teachers would scold us when they returned. Sometimes that felt as bad or worse than our parents scolding us. When our beloved teachers were mad at us it wasn’t fun anymore, so we learned quickly not to be too mean to subs.

[WindAtMyBack]

We always treated substitute teachers the same as any other teacher. We'd even help them by letting them know what we were studying at the time. We knew they were basically just baby sitters, so we didn't expect a lot from them. I don't recall a single person giving them a hard time.

[OlderAndWiser]

It's been 52 years since I was in high school. I don't remember anything except being a little angel!

[meetkitty123]

😇😇😇

[RealMarek]

We had corporal punishment at school back then, so we didn’t do anything to substitute teachers. Bring back the rod and this nonsense will stop fast.

[meetkitty123]

They still have it down south

[exitseven]

oh man, in 7th grade we used to get this poor lady as a substitute in Math class. We used to make her cry. i am not proud of this.

[meetkitty123]

Awe poor teacher

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

We had this poor sub teacher who did not teach the class-room and all she did is let bullies get away with causing trouble in the class and students would laugh like heck.

[meetkitty123]

Oh that's tough I don't allow bullying

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@meetkitty123 Yeah, I agree

[Mark987]

This sounds so far fetched. In grade 11 our substitute teacher was really hot and young. She swung both ways... I didn't do anything with her... but my friend did.. in a club... and she taught his class that week

[meetkitty123]

Yes that sounds far fetched but sadly there are idiotic teachers who risk there reputation and risk being arrested and put on the sex offenders list (as they should be male or female. Just because you are an attractive female does not give you a pass on abusing minors) because they don't know how to keep it in there pants and keep their hands off of children. Such things if discovered would not have been allowed to happen she was lucky not to have gotten caught. It doesn't even matter if the student was 18 if the person is in a position of authority and they messed with a student it's automatic termination. Under age and it's the sex offenders list for them... On a different note I definitely know kids act differently with teachers who are attractive. I see this a lot. Kids are nicer to me.

[Jamie05rhs]

I can think of a LOT of naughty things I'd like to do to a "sub." :)

[larry69]

I put a rubber snake in the chair... was going to do thumbtacks but

[Pete671]

Took cardboard off bangers from France, lit them, put in a hinged top desk and watched the banger blow the lid off it's hinges and fill the classroom with burning paper,,

[Rudon00]

Nah I don't have an experience to share here 😄😄😄
