[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have only taught at public school so I can’t speak to private school. The answer probably also depends on whether you are talking about elementary vs. middle vs. high school. 
I teach at a diverse race and mixed income high school and kids are generally pretty respectful.

No kid has ever used curse words at me. They definitely try to test the teachers to see what they can get away with but once they get familiar with me, they mostly settle down. I put a lot of effort into setting expectations and creating a classroom culture but I imagine I would have to do that in private as well (to a lesser degree). Being a sub is not the easiest in public school but the kids are not usually rude to subs. The sub pay in public is pretty low but I don’t know how it compares with private school sub pay. Teachers greatly appreciate good subs though as they are hard to find. And if the kids give you a hard time, you should leave a note for the teacher as the teacher will get mad at the students for disrespecting the subs. [/quote]
