I actually turned down a sub job this morning because I couldn\u2019t understand the teacher\u2019s name or what she was asking me to do.\u00a0 The automated phone message was just fine except for the bits where she talked.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t really want my assignment to be that much of a surprise.\u00a0 The only thing I knew for sure was that she worked in the English department\u2026 because the automated portion of the call told me that.\u00a0 Alas, no one else called, so I concentrated on my homework assignments until around 2PM (Yeah, all caught up!).\u00a0 After that, I spent a considerable amount of time building my Minecraft cathedral.\u00a0 The last of the walls and the roof went up today.\u00a0 The cathedral is looking amazing.\u00a0 If I don\u2019t get a call tomorrow, I\u2019ll add the buttresses and start on the interior woodwork.<\/p>\n
The district also called today and asked if I could sub for post-secondary (after high school in this case) special education and\/or for the alternative campus for kids who got kicked out of high school.\u00a0 I said yes to special ed., but no to the alternative campus kids, figuring that with my poor classroom management skills, I\u2019d be eaten alive.\u00a0 When my wife got home, she told me that the alternative campus kids were actually a lot of fun and that the teachers there were amazing.\u00a0 Of course, she has excellent classroom management skills, but she also told me that once the kids are placed in this sheltered environment, the class size drops and the teachers are more relaxed about teaching.\u00a0 It helps the kids immensely.\u00a0 Gee, perhaps I should say yes and give it a try.\u00a0 This could be my calling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
