Hi guys! Welcome to Teacher's Off-Duty. If you've never joined us before, my name is Rebecca Rogers. I'm our Rogers World on all social media.

I'm Bri, honest teacher vibes on all social media. I'm Lauren Woolly, Mrs. Woolly in fifth, and today we have something to talk about.

I thought you were going to say on all social media, and I was waiting for it, and I didn't come, and I was like, oh, okay, moving on.

I feel like I get repaid, because I'm the last one of the three of us, and so I feel like it's repetitive when I say it again.

It's fine, it's fine, it's fine. But we know that you guys have noticed that Tell Williams has not been with us the last couple episodes.

We know that you've been asking about it, and we so appreciate you being so invested in our podcast. It makes us so happy.

He's been really busy. He's graduating with his master's program. He's been doing susical, the musical, which is so exciting.

And he's also been really busy developing and getting ready his own podcast that he wants to get started.

We're so excited for him. We're so excited for him. We're so proud of him. We're so excited to see how that progresses.

And so instead of just replacing him, because there's no replacing, Mr. Woolly.

So today we have our friend, Vinny Thomas, for a couple episodes. Go ahead and introduce yourself.

Hi, so my name's Vinny Thomas. Okay, Mr. Thomas English. Okay, gorgeous.

That was the best intro.

I know. And I'm currently the substitute teacher for the next few episodes.

And yeah, in case you have a nice, I am from England, and I am an ex-English teacher.

So yeah, I don't know how to start this, so one of them is going to, I think, I don't know.

And just as Vinny said, he's our substitute today, which is really what we wanted to talk about today.

Substitute teachers, teachers that have really awesome substitute who have experienced really crazy classes,

or classes that have experienced some really crazy substitutes. We know there's both.

Just like teachers, there are really great ones, and sometimes teachers that have more unfortunate moments.

And I personally post a lot of story about subs on my own platforms, and people are always like,

why do you have so many bad stories about subs? Because people don't tell really good stories.
