Child Development - So this lady in her 50's walks in and you know she looks like a wise, respectable person but in the end she was a nightmare. Oh my damn she removed three students from the classroom, unacceptably rude, know-it-all, fought with everyone INDIVIDUALLY, and a straight up bitch. At first she wanted to let everyone know about herself so she summed up some events in her life, and then a student related something in her life to the substitute's story and then the substitute stopped her and said "Excuse me, but I believe I'm telling my story". What? Really? That self-centered? This is not a good sign, and as the period progresses on more conflict arose. We were working on making posters and this one guy sat all the way in the back on a computer listening to music, not doing anything wrong or disturbing class and this substitute ordered him to put his music away. He refused to do so and she pretty much argued with him about challenging her authority. This lasted for maybe ten minutes, telling him to stand in the corner. The corner? This is fucking high school, we don't stand in corners. After giving up she got an administrator to remove him. Looking for more trouble she is now yelling at this girl for putting her feet on a seat. If you could've yelled at anyone why pick on the quiet girl just resting her feet? Telling her to not say anything back because her intelligence was not on her level. She pretty much called the girl stupid. Class is almost over get me away from this crazy lady!! But nooooooo one more fight. In our school our Juniors and Seniors are allowed to go off campus for lunch. This girl was late to class because her car got rear ended, with no compassion the substitute marks her as late and then explains how it is unacceptable to arrive to class late. Uhhhh THIS GIRL JUST WENT THROUGH A TRAUMATIC CAR ACCIDENT. This girl got really offended and they had a calm argument for the longest time. The bell ring and the substitute says "Well you have to leave now, and you have yet to prove your point, this just shows not fight with your elders". So just because the bell rung you think you won that? No, you haven't, using that as a win? How pathetic. So after all this fighting everyone left the classroom a mess and it was her fault for not instructing us to clean up.
Food Technology - Now in this class you really have to watch and interact with the students because we don't know all the components of food and what they do when they come together. We have a regular substitute who is very out of place, like sometimes I don't even know she's there. She tries very hard to interact with everyone but it just doesn't happen. While not paying attention, three guys were brought back to the classroom by an administrator because she failed to realize they had left the class. Way to go lady. Then this group was making cupcakes and they accidentally used confectioners sugar instead of flour, and so they dumped it down the sink. Now let's think what's wrong with that, sugar + down the sink = build up in the pipes. Once again substitute was unaware of this happening so now we have clogged pipes.
Now I know not all substitutes are bad or whatever but these past few ones have low attention spans. You really have to watch over us, we still little devils that will cause trouble without even knowing it sometimes. It was hard to watch these people talk down to my peers, but in most cases it's best to keep to ones business.
Jar full of hugs,
Kupo
