[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 723201, member: 4040"] I've been subbing for twenty years, and this is honestly one of my pet peeves. You can't possibly be expected to know the bus order or who gets picked up by mom/dad/auntie sue/grandpa bob unless the teacher writes it down. You don't know whether to pick up the kids from the blacktop or if they come to the room, or where on this blacktop the class you have is standing. You don't know about the lunch line, the Flag Salute (in the classroom or whole school on the blacktop), or if the kids are allowed to sharpen pencils or go to the bathroom/get drinks during class. I let some kids go to the library last week, even though it wasn't "their day," and the class had a collective meltdown. I told them to relax, that I never wanted to get in the way of someone reading. My standard line for getting through the day? "No tears, no vomit, no bloodshed - it was a good day." Everything else can be easily handled. [/QUOTE]
