1. It's 8th grade.

2. You're a sub.

3. [b]Of course they're not going to respect you[/b] or want to do a lick of work:-)

4. And you're so stupid and unaware of the dynamic here, you can conclude they're all doomed after one day!!! Clearly, subbing for that age group is not for you :-)

Not to mention the disrespect is obviously mutual based on what OP wrote. Kids will pick up on that and act accordingly. [/quote]

Yes, I'm sure every other day those kids are paying rapt attention to the teacher willing to discuss the days lesson with their homework complete. [/quote]

Funny that I'm reading this on my planning while the teacher across the hall from me just came back from an appt. Apparently these kids (who are always great for her), tore up the room in the hour long window they had a sub.

I wouldn't make any general statements on the future of America based on a day of subbing. I know all the kids at my school and its still tough when I fill an unfamiliar role (e.g. I'm an ELA teacher but sometimes I provide coverage for math). Thank you for trying though I know that must have been a really hard day. There's a reason there's a sub shortage...it's really miserable work[/quote]
