One last week brought his hand held video game and another fell asleep in the library. I woke him up when it was time for him to take his class out. I also wrote him up while I was at it - he left the classroom in a shambles. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your comment about my friend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333382268292453140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527406.post-1128888498197728262005-10-09T15:08:00.000-05:002005-10-09T15:08:00.000-05:00My sub didn't show up Friday and I felt awful, but...My sub didn't show up Friday and I felt awful, but things turned out to be okay. The Art teacher took my classes for the day. <BR/><BR/>Hope your 7th grade teacher is able to return soon! :)MandyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06492989603174416059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527406.post-1128882683353284942005-10-09T13:31:00.000-05:002005-10-09T13:31:00.000-05:00Last year, I didn't miss a single day of work.

I had minor colds throughout the year, but I decided they weren't serious enough to warrant a day off. If we had subs, I might have taken a day to rest when I was sick. <BR/><BR/>In the meantime, I've had students who stay home if they have a hangnail. There's just something wrong with this picture.Dreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16466238076903428067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527406.post-1128882184554555472005-10-09T13:23:00.000-05:002005-10-09T13:23:00.000-05:00At our morning staff meeting this week, the princi...At our morning staff meeting this week, the principal lamented the sorry state of substitutes at our school. Our county is one of the largest and most "prestigious" in the country, and still we can't get even crummy substitutes. Principal told us point blank..."Don't call in sick. Unless you are in a state of emergency, come in." <BR/><BR/>It's one thing to decide as a responsible person that coming in "no matter what" is the right thing to do.... it's another when the principal puts it out there.<BR/><BR/>I share your dismay at this sad state of affairs.Mrs. Rishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535068560651193170noreply@blogger.com
