Okay, I know that sounds weird but stick with me for a minute.
Most of my subs (for class) talk about how they got the job. Those who do also tend to have a life story to share. Those who don’t are usually asleep.
As it turns out, there is a website that Douglas County Substitutes can log onto and accept/request jobs, and teachers can do the same for finding subs. On this website they can plan and post pictures and comment and IM and email and all this other stuff.
Now the first thought in my head was Facebook! It’s not Facebook, just for the record, but from the sounds of it, these substitutes spend their afternoons and weekends scrolling through their fellow subs’ class stories and how funny Thunder Ridge High School students are and how neat Rock Canyon is and how big Legend is and what not. And then they can post their own stories about their day and how great it was or how horrible their 2nd class was or how mean the teacher seemed or whatever.
What can I say? It’s a sub’s life.
