Where to start
By Doug

Start anywhere but a middle school!My first sub job was a New Orleans middle school back in 1972.It was something out of a David Duke nightmare and I am NO fan of that fool but I was definitely being tested.Next stop was
another middle school where I actually had to FIGHT a group of kids who started whipping me with a belt and threatening me with sticks!We were out in the hall throwing down like it was the Wild Wild West!
Now,at age 56,I stick to high schools and it is SO much better!I am still in the hood but much wiser and better prepared.Bring your own video movies,quiz games,puzzles.Cut out news

articles of interest to read and discuss.Just be yourself.Tell a joke or two to break the ice.Be cool.Don't press points if they may backfire on you.
Subbing can be fun if your put your mind in the right place.
