Once I even left post it notes on my remote controls. "Hi! I am for the DVD player!" "Hi!

Yesterday, whilst looking ...Agreed: not worth it. <br /><br />Yesterday, whilst looking for an particular email, I came across an email I sent to Andrea when I was waging that epic battle with strep in February. In said email, I waxed equally poetic about how it is just easier, even at death's door, to go in and do what you gotta do with your class than to leave sub plans. I hate sub plans. <br /><br />And ever since I was actually with you when you had that last AWFUL experience with the sub who didn't show up and then the sub that changed your plan AND bragged about it, I second the idea that really it's like Vegas but without all the good parts. It is just much too stressful. I feel better about it now, since 3/5 of my classes are AP and I can basically leave them anything, but the 2/5 of my classes that are sophomores create enough anxiety for all 5 of those classes. <br /><br />And don't even get me started on the technology. I mean, your classroom has more than mine, but even in mine, it's apparently "too sophisticated" for most of the subs I end up with. I've gotten more clear in my directions and have started leaving CD-RWs with my powerpoints on them (because trying to leave it on the local computer is WAY harder than it should be). But dear lord. It takes as much time to make ONE subplan for ONE day than it does to plan two weeks' worth of lessons in my head or on notebook paper in chicken scratch and post its. <br /><br />And especially on the first day after a break. I mean, that's a dealbreaker. You go in. You just do.McMillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584053139426765839noreply@blogger.com
