That sub was out of line!! No sub can know what a classroom is like when s/he isn't there--only what it's like when s/he is. If she was having a hard time with them, that's on her! I would let your school secretary know that she should not be subbing in your building. If that's how it works in your school/district anyway. Our secretary will blacklist subs for us so they can't even accidentally be called to our school. <br /><br />I never realized where you live, I guess, because I am from Fort Wayne. Are you moving anywhere near there? I live in Seattle now, so I don't have any ins, but my mom is retiring from East Allen County Schools in NE Indiana in a month. Unfortunately, they are letting go of teachers every year. :( Remember when our country used to need teachers? A lot of people not in our line of work still think that's true and are shocked to find out how bad the job market in teaching is. I think it's helpful that you teach Special Ed, though. There are less people here, anyway, that are certified in Special Ed so it is a more coveted endorsement. I wish you so much luck!!xo<br /><br /><a href="http://abcprimary.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Primarily Primary</a>Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166028465983723691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279634929019290027.post-70125659294590926952012-04-17T21:03:39.209-04:002012-04-17T21:03:39.209-04:00Oh, that's terrible!

I agree with what someone else said, try not to get her again.<br />The end of the year is so crazy busy, isn't it? And with your class work on top of that. Hopefully you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.<br />SaraSara at schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826113370064170051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279634929019290027.post-77598526944576749742012-04-15T22:24:48.808-04:002012-04-15T22:24:48.808-04:00OH MY GOODNESS!!!

There are so many things teachers establish with their students that a teacher could not possible inform a sub of everything, and it just can't all be replicated by a sub. I have a sub like 4 days between now and the end of April. Ahh!!! I'll be thinking about you during your job search! Good luck:)<br /><br /><a href="http://karlie-johnson.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">We are ALL Special!</a>Karliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055848196857720119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279634929019290027.post-46857621182090252702012-04-14T12:10:00.846-04:002012-04-14T12:10:00.846-04:00May God Bless you always, whatever you do and wher...May God Bless you always, whatever you do and wherever you go!

I would have NEVER left a note like that for a classroom teacher. Do not let that get you down...she was out of line. I hope you have a good weekend and feel better on Monday...new week, fresh start! <br /><br />Lou<br /><br /><a href="http://pencilswithpizzazz.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Pencils with Pizzazz</a>Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01430669749138059330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279634929019290027.post-64734379702176428492012-04-14T09:51:58.586-04:002012-04-14T09:51:58.586-04:00If I got a note like that, I would see red!

You know that your kiddos don't behave that way with you, so that should make you feel good.<br /><br />I'm praying for all of the new, exciting adventures you and your family have to look forward to.<br />-Megan<br /><br /><a href="http://firstgrademagic.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">First Grade Magic</a>Mrs. Nunleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913946045048488487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279634929019290027.post-71655962696249727502012-04-13T22:18:49.201-04:002012-04-13T22:18:49.201-04:00Wow, what a note!

I am moving this summer, so I am looking, too. I forgot how daunting it was to get those resumes, applications, references, cover letters, etc. all ready to go.

But I do like blogging.....and I have been reading other people's blogs, just haven't been contributing to mine!<br />About your sub...that's pretty balzy if you ask me. Do you know this sub? If not, I'd try not to have her again. I too leave more paper work... Sometimes that is just easier because we don't always know if a sub understands how to do the hands on stuff. So sure, the papers work easier!<br />Patty Rutenbar<br /> 2ndinline.blogspot.comPatty Rutenbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01326196976806184546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279634929019290027.post-39091214336098322922012-04-13T20:07:18.199-04:002012-04-13T20:07:18.199-04:00Sending prayers your way that everything turns out...Sending prayers your way that everything turns out...good luck with job pursuit an house sale.<br /><br />Elizabeth<br /><br /><a href="http://funin4b.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Fun in Room 4B</a>Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07786531176109759149noreply@blogger.com
