All right, teachers, how did a substitute teacher wreck your class while you were gone?

Okay, so when I was a substitute, I got a lot of requested jobs because the substitute pool was so poor.

One such example given to me was a substitute who would just go to sleep. I barely believed it.

Once I was teaching full-time, I had a sub come in for a day, and when I got back,

my students told me that he told them to leave him alone, sat down, and went straight to sleep. And it's at that moment that I believed how poor the pool was. When I was in high school, I had a sub do this. We all left early, except for a few kids. One of the kids told us later that when the sub woke up, he noticed that all the

kids had left, looked at the remaining kids and asked them why they hadn't left yet. Great times.

I was a teacher's assistant while in college. The teacher and I took a week-long workshop and had a

sub. The worst thing she did was not letting the kids go potty. It was in kindergarten and she said all of the kids

going to the bathroom were interrupting the class. So one girl peed herself. The school policy was

that if kids under a certain age had an accident, the nurse would give them a pull-up, basically a diaper

and such. The little girl

ended up facing repercussions at home too. It was devastating to hear about. I came back after being

gone one day, mind you, and my students told me the sub had flipped over tables and rage and was

escorted from the building by a cop. So some of this was just student gossip, but what actually happened is that the sub left the

room to take a 20-minute phone call and the kids thought it would be funny to flip the tables

over.

The substitute then had to flip the tables right side up while yelling at the kids.

No arrests at this point.

Then during lunch, my special ed co-teacher came into my room to

set up and caught the sub making out with a girl. Turns out she was 18 to his 25, and the 20-minute

phone call from earlier was to set up this little lunch rendezvous. The principal then had him
