Just a Substitute
May 9, 2008 by cajunvegan
I suspended a frequent flyer and huge pain in my arse insolent little 14-year-old gangsta wannabe student today for five days. I know you want to know why. He threw a huge wad of chewing gum into a substitute teacher’s hair for telling him to stop distracting others and to get on task. It took every ounce of self control I had not to call him a turd and punch him when he said she was “just a substitute.”
I still am LIVID. This poor “guest teacher” was very appreciative of my support and stated that she would be back, but I know differently. She will go out into the community and tell educators at other schools how terrible our students are or what an awful experience she had because of this “decroded piece of crap.”
But, wait, there’s more.
His grandmother (his legal guardian as mom is a crack head who had her rights taken away when he was two years old) thinks that I am picking on him. That officially settles it. Stupidity is hereditary. Apple … tree.
Praise Jebus It’s Friday!
When boy called me a dumb fuck, the mother asked me, “Well, what did you do to make him so mad?”
Sometimes it’s hard to bite my tongue…I am not good at it.
Yet another reason I will never teach in a public school in the US. I was too spoiled teaching overseas. What a waste of my teaching degree.
And a bad apple, too. I’m sorry.
I’m with Chatty - the reason I don’t work in public schools is that I WOULDN’T hold my tongue, and my first job would be my last.
I’d get fired =)
