Stories of A Substitute Take #4

I forget that junior high boys tend to have poor hygiene.

Today I subbed for Hank Wintczak.

Band. Nough said.

I've subbed for band several times, and am finally learning to choose my battles with them. Junior high kids are super loud and super disrespectful.

I sent a kid to the office today. It was one of those things where he kept pushing and pushing me to do it. I usually try to not send those kids because something deeper is going on there. However, he made a rude comment to another student, and I had to give him the boot.

I will admit that this was the least stressful day of subbing for band that I've ever had. I didn't have the high school band. I didn't have to listen to the loud instruments. The 6th grade band was much more respectful then the past 6th grade bands I've had. And I got to have Moyra in class today.

I do have to say though, that I think kids might be getting weirder and weirder. Maybe its the age difference, but lots of just plan weird went down today.

All the same it was a fairly easy day. Don't get me wrong. I still had to do a lot of yelling, but I still have my voice, so that's promising.
