Yesterday's Subbing
So yesterday, I subbed. Two stories from that experience...
1) One kid, African-American, the only one in the class, tried to act super-hard. Pushed kids around, made them do things for him by using scare tactics. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I wanted to go up to the kid and say, "What's up, San Mateo. Six-five-oh, what... six-five-OH!"
2) One other kid, clearly wasn't doing work, but when I'd walk by and sit down with him to work on the assigned worksheet, he was clearly capable. Not a stupid kid. Just unmotivated to do work. We're working on a math problem and he stops, "Hey, I don't usually do work in this class. I usually just draw, and it's cool. Can I just do that?" Gotta hand it to the guy for being open and honest.

What the hell is wrong with you?? Subs aren't supposed to care, just sit there and show a movie or something. Don't you remember old skelator, and that old lady Mrs. P something??
Hi Hideyo,
I gotta say... I found out that you have a blog and have been utterly entertained by them!! :) So congrats on marriage and HI Hideyo.
