More Adventures in Substitute Teaching

4. I substitute teach as well

In my experience children that hit and threaten have experienced being whipped at home. As soon as I walk in, if I have a student like that I just won't engage and will immediately have the child removed from class. As much as we want to blame the kid we have to remember that some of these kids face horrors in their homes and are just mimics of their home life.

Special Ed is tricky and they really need to have people who have training. I get switched up too from time to time. If I accept a day with special ed they have to agree to keep the aggressive kids in the office.

I love gym class though and like high school better than elementary school. I won't even accept a slot at the middle school.
