Subbing 8th grade social studies. Watched a movie made in 1987 about the Constitutional Convention. No shade to this teacher whatsoever, he seemed great, but isn’t there anything more current? #substituteteaching #substituteteacher

Another day another classroom. 4/10. Will probably not be going back. #substituteteacher #substituteteaching

Has anyone else experienced more kids getting physical in the classroom than ever? I love substitute teaching, but the kids who want to tackle, touch, and otherwise invade other students’ space make it impossible to pay attention to any of the other students. #substituteteaching #substituteteacher

Another day, another classroom! #substituteteacher #substituteteaching

Yesterday I was subbing at the high school & had a staff member ask, "Do you know what classroom you're going to?" I replied, "Um.. I'm 31, but I'm very flattered." Although she was embarrassed, it was the best compliment I could have gotten this week.

#30s #substituteteaching

Observation: when did it become the norm for kids to wear pajamas to school? #school #teaching #substituteteaching #teachers #education

This kid in one class today was wearing cologne *so strong* that I swear if this was my regular class/a regular occurrence I think I’d have to send a note home and how fucking awful/awkward would that be?

#teacherlife #substituteteaching

Today had its hard moments, but I also played tag with a bunch of second graders and got to hear them squeal in delight. Also, a bunch of kindergartners hugged me and said they missed me. You can’t beat that. #substituteteaching
