Ok, it was a little tl;dr, but was anyone else taken back by the wording of "Jacksonville native and former Cabot substitute teacher American Idol Kris Allen."
my favorite sub though was the other crotchety old man. my friend harrison ford (no joke) had this watch that he could synchronize to the tv in the room, and he kept turning it on remotely
the guy eventually FLIPPED HIS SHIT and ran into the hallway screaming about ghosts and fucking kids
... That is maybe the greatest thing I've ever heard. My class was nowhere near organized enough to freak out a teacher like that. We just tended to completely ignore them.
My favorite sub story is from when I was a senior, I was in AP English and our teacher was the chillest guy ever who basically let us do what we wanted. I sat on the desk every day and we listened to music all the time and were allowed to talk and draw on the board and whatever because we always got our work done. So one time we got this sub who was basically the incarnate of Professor Umbridge from Harry Potter. Everything we did, she went, "You wouldn't do that if your teacher was here." And it basically became us vs. her, so every time she said it, we basically wound up screaming at her that we would and we did. When he got back the next day, he actually asked what we did to that poor sub that made her write such a terrible report about us, and then we wasted the entire period bitching about her. It was glorious.
the pissy subs are always hilarious, but that teacher sounds seriously AWESOME; it's always so great to have a teacher who trusts you below the college level. my English teacher just failed me cause my mom was chairman of the school board and implementing policies all my teachers hated =\ not even tinhatting, she once took fifteen points off a major test because I didn't write "a) Nathaniel Hawthorne, b) Jonathan Edwards" on two separate lines
I am training to be the sort of teacher who lets people do exactly what they want as long as they don't burn stuff. Like, who doesn't want their mp3 player on when they're reading soul-destroyingly crap set texts? I know I do.
Hah, we had a guy that played the spoons. He had a finger missing and always came into school barefoot. Upon reflection this was probably odd behaviour for a substitute teacher but at least we all paid attention.
It just keeps on going... the words never end.
