Several teachers are attending a conference in Singapore next week. Other teachers on campus and in the local area as well as dorm parents are asked to cover classes for those two days. Now I'm not particularly inclined to teach grade 12 pre-calculus but I did sign up to do a 35 minute protected period on food studies for grade 7. Really - how hard can it be???
When the final sub list came out , I noticed I was the only dorm parent who signed up. A couple other dorm moms just quietly nodded their heads and walked away when I told them I was subbing.
Okay, somebody isn't telling me something, right? Is this some sort of initiation gag? What's the deal here anyway?
My teacher friend, Carol, often talks about the dreams she has in the days before school starts where she's standing before the class and nobody is listening or she's forgotten to get dressed and is still in her pj's or the kids are acting wild and she can't control them. You know, nightmares like that.
Welcome to my world!
