Hrm... perhaps time to reconsider my job options. Lol, not much love for the glorified "babysitters" here.
I wish I could garner some respect for substitute teachers here, but I know its a job field that attracts alot of unqualified and unscrupulous characters.
I have a bachelor's degree in Art Education and hope to teach it on the high school or even college level someday (though that will require a great deal more qualification), but substitute teaching sure is proving to be a trial. Really stressing me out, even in the downtime too. Thankfully we have student teachers and classroom aides that make the rounds to help keep things in check and under control.
On an unrelated note, does anyone know good food or drink for calming one's nerves? When you're stuck doing Substituting nearly every day, you need something to let go with (and no alcohol doesn't count, the last thing I need is hooked on the juice).
