Fried-Day!

The life of a sub is tough. Never knowing when you'll be called, if you'll be called. Going from class to class with different styles and different expectations. Some students are happy you're there, and some can't wait to get rid of you. Then, of course, there are the kids who try to tell you rules and regulations that don't exist. They want to play "Fool the Sub" with you. Luckily, I've been teaching long enough to know how to cut shenanigans off at the knee, and I can smell a rat from far away...

I got called at 6 a.m. asking if I could sub today, and I said "Yes". Then I remembered that Richard has jury duty and I had to take Leo to school, so I said "No". Taking Leo to school would mean getting to work a full hour later than the start of the school day. I said that if no one else could sub, I'd do it, but it would be better to have someone there on time. Wouldn't you know, no one else answered their phone?! I guess no one was expecting to get called on the last day before spring break. This was actually a great fortune for me, and I had a lot of fun. Today was "Dance Anywhere", and at 12 noon the whole school danced wherever they happened to be. I happened to be out on the yard at lunch with the kids, and when we heard Michael Jackson come through on the speakers, teachers, kids, and parents all danced. It looked like a scene from Fame! If the whole world did this, I'm sure we'd have less conflict. Imagine Congress, discussing health-care overhaul, and 12 o' clock comes then, BAM! Time to boogie! It would be hard to argue with someone after that. I can't wait to dance anywhere again!
