Today he is going to a substitute teacher training.I told him to have fun and write down anything he had a question about because 1/2 of what they tell you really isn't true. He asked "like what?" I replied like school request lists for substitutes. The way to get into schools isn't through the office, it's through the teachers. Even if you are on the list in the office, if someone subs in my class and does a horrible job, they won't be called back. He asked what about a resume- they said to bring resumes to the schools. I replied that I had never read a subs resume and they are just filed away. He aske dabout business cards. I said some do them and leave them in the teachers lounge, but honestly unless I get another teacher's opinion, I won't call from a business card. And if I do, and they do a horrible job, everyone in the school knows and they won't be requested again. the only way to get going and get requested is to sub, do a good job and the word will spread.

I have offered for him to sub at my school in the classrooms around me to get his feet wet- that way I can help and my co-workers can offer suggestions- he has refused.

Oh well. I told him the truth. He thinks subbing is a cake walk and middle school will be easier than elementary. I pee my pants laughing everytime he tells me that.

I've subbed k-12 and taught for 11 years- yet he has it all figured out.

I can not wait until next week when he does his first sub job.

CL- you're right. He is suppressing my personality. He even tells me I'm a different person when he sees me coaching or in the classroom. He FLAT OUT notices that. When I tell him and the therapist tells him that he is changing me- he still doesn't see it. Duh. He says he's helping me to become a better person. I replied once when he said that "ya, but you've been doing that for 10 years and now you don't like the person I've become- do you think maybe you should stop trying to make me better, it obviously isn't working".

didn't work. Oh well. Maybe with him working things will get better.

I will certainly have a lot to laugh about. \:\) (((Mean I know, but gotta give a girl a break now and again))) If I can't wake him up, maybe spending a day with 250 14 year olds will!!!!!!!

I have my line all ready for next week the first time he says anything about the kids behavior-----

welcome to my world!!!!
