ok ok ok By heather

I more or less was talking about their attitudes, and conversations that I may over hear, or their actions towards subs comapred to other teachers. I am not meaning to offend anyone by saying this, but if I do, SO WHAT, get over it, but do you honestly think that you would be able to take off for a day to go to the doctor if there were no subs, and the next time that a teacher wants to turn her nose up at someone because they are sitting in the lounge having a group discussion at lunch and a sub puts her opinion out on the table, and the teacher wants to make the remark "You are just a sub, how could you possible understand what I am talking about", just think that if it wasn't for that person who is "just a sub", you wouldn't get a day off, or you would have to come in sick as a dog, or you would have to come in when a relative dies, and you would have to come in when something personal happens at home, and say, this person who is "just a sub" needs a little more appreciation. If you think down on all subs, then you have a serios problem. I agree that there are subs out there that know less than the students do, and they are the ones who should try even harder to learn the job. I have always said, if you don;t understand a lesson, how can yousit there and make the students understand it? OK enough talking. I am truely sorry if I offended anyone with what I said.
