Teach Your Material And Leave All That Other shyt Outside The Door

As a former sub, I can say that even that's a risk if you're a short-term/one-day sub. Nobody wants to be the seat warming sub, but after a few years, that's what you'll inevitably become. It's thankless, infuriating work because of stuff just like this. Good subs are needed in any district, but they're shyt on from all sides - even long-term ones. Students see them as bait, regular teachers see them as inferior and administrators see them as punching bags. Every day I walked out of a sub job, I always had to wonder if I was going to get The Call. I have stories for days.

OP, I tip my hat to you. I truly do. I won't go as far as to say they did you a favor, but I will say that you won't miss it after a while.

Bring the coli to work brehs.

Reminds me of the story where dude said he was "tryna rape payroll" LOL

 

[Charlie Hustle]

Unfortunately you got that wake up call OP


If you were a real G you would have ran the fade on your director.

@Preacher why don't you start working at colleges, that way you have more leeway in what you can say.

As an educator, I can see you using humor to connect with the kids, assuming they will not garner you respect from the instant you walk in that classroom. While that builds community and common ground (based on the notion that a black person can't be trusted just off of title alone), it sets up a dynamic. I save my fun jokes and stuff for black classrooms. As the dispenser of knowledge out there, you should be strictly about business; every interaction is meaningful, and instead of responding quickly, Im trying to create dialogue amongst themselves (peer education), while working to remember their names in 10 minutes so they can at least feel validated.

I can teach in a middle school setting, but I don't like teaching them, I prefer college level. Because I dictate my curriculum. If you're gonna work public schools, you gotta play their rules.

The second and third comments were moronic. You don't deserve to get fired but its mainly your own stupidity that is to blame.

 

[Yo Mama]

A phone call though? Don't have they have a better termanation procedure in place? Even for substitute teachers?

OP you deserved to lose your job for making that last comment. The joke itself doesn't bother me but the fact you felt you had to say it in a all white middle school classroom. Honestly you deserve to lose it for not exercising pure common sense. The "Maybe I shouldn't say this" filter did not go off in your head but it goes off in mine every got damn day and I opt to say nothing at my job outside of job related topics, movies and sports.

I am sure plenty of plenty will not cosign this but I never cosign A lack of common sense.

You are right. Had a white teacher said something similar to a black class we would be livid.

Fortunately the OP will still get to teach and has learnt his lesson. If he had said this as a fully qualified teacher it could have been worse.

OP remember that everythibg you say to your students will almost always be repeated by them. Not coz they are "snitches" but coz they are children amd its human nature.

 

[Self_Born7]

bet the teachers who made the wanted slave posters still in classrooms.

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

You sound kind of dumb breh or just got way too comfortable. There's always UPS

nikka thought he was on the Coli and shyt

 

[GreenGhxst]

Lmfao this nikka asked are you mixed and what do you put on your ballot, black or white to a minor. Take a break from this bytch like the honorable @JudgeJoeGorilla

This nikka is the black Michael Scott, none of that was appropriate breh, you trying to be hotep as fukk while teaching suburban cacs at an all cacs school where half of them lil demons probably racist anyway

Good luck to ya and hold ya head but Christ

You did one thing right though, you came back and told us

 

[newworldafro]

Subbing is cool, but you do have to watch your actions and words.

You are the most interesting change they have had over their routine/mundane days. So you being there is unique and if you go to far off the reservation, even if you think its innocent, they will speak on it.

 

[Robo Squirrel]

Finish school to become a teacher and then dispute your claim, or get a lawyer and fight the decision. The comment you made would raise flags. You should be mad at the snitch ass kid that told on you. Might have been the mixed girl.

 

[QuintessentialMan]

Lesson learnt OP.

Some children actually tell their parents everything that went down daily. No doubt one parent was salty at the joke and took things way too far.

Nope. Any time I saw the district's first three digits on my phone, I would break into hives. Get fired as a sub and you can't sub in the entire district. So imagine trying to get a job as a sub in another district. No haps.
