my dear teachers,

my momma is a sub, too! even with 20 years teaching experience under her belt, she's been unable to find a steady teaching job since quitting her last one 2 yrs ago. her pay has finally bumped up to $85/day. she's really good with small kids (she'll only sub for elementary schools), like the pied piper of children (candy helps, yo) but she's really shy and (i think) dperessed so she's not jiving with the constant flux of newness. she eats her lunch alone in the classroom 'cos no one in the teachers lounge would talk to her. (she looks normal, smells good, smiles alot--but hey, i understand the other side, you want to chat with yr other bud-teaches, not the sub). anyway, she frequently comes home from the job pissed, and i wonder what could be making her so angry?

my dad tried subbing for awhile, he thought middle school would be his thing, but he sent kids to the office *everyday*! one boy started chirping like a cricket and wouldn't stop, he got handed a pink slip down to the principal. my pops couldn't handle the negotioation involved.

i've thought about subbing to augment my bookstore job, but please do tell me about it, details details details! (in my state, if you're over 18 w/ a high school degree, you can sub). are the little kids wild? i look 18 not 23, would i get any respect from kids any older than elem? i'd love to sub for a high school english class (where kids are old enough to not through spitballs, push each other or chirp like crickets), but would they listen to me? (looking 18 as i do?)

wendy..i was one of those kids...i used to go smoke in the restroom during geometry (i hate math), be gone for 10 or 15, then come back reeking of smoke like, "yesssss?" i was big into individual rights (or that's how i rationalized cutting geometry for my love of marlboro)

what kind of degrees do yall have? what's the certification process like?

props to the teachers,
sar
