Substitutes…

I’ve always hated school subs, they never get anything right and are too easily fooled by the conniving students- the ones who don’t follow the rules on a daily bases, or the ones who switch seats. You know who I’m talking about.

Anyway, I used to think music or art subs were the worst. Special talent classes like those just can’t be taught by a random stranger.

Then I got a Chinese sub. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD SUB FOR A CHINESE CLASS? We’re always yelling across the room at each other in a random language, and the sub wouldn’t have a clue if we were totally planning a riot or something. I was sure it couldn’t get any worse than that…

Until I got a sub for driver’s ed. How is that even possible? Especially when I thought our first teacher was a little…unstable…to begin with. I actually figured a sub might not be such a horrible thing, I mean in comparison to the original. Then we met the sub. She was hard of hearing and not up-to-date on the most recent road laws…I would be scared, but I passed the permit test, so whatever.

Subs still suck.
