Do you know how your kids act in school?

This will probably get moved.

I am quite sure that NONE of the problem kids I have as a substitute act that way with their normal teachers ................much less with their parents.

I had to call security 2 out of 8 classes today for about 6 kids in both classes.

Security already knew their names. My daughter was really BAD in 10th grade and I got called so many times so I understand. What is UP with these kids being so disrespectful.

Well I always thought this came from the fact parents just gave up caring so kids just keep doing it.

My thought too. There seems to be an age where they just try to exercise power.

they wear parents down and that seems to be when many parents just cave, it is easier to let it go then fight the darn kids. Sad but understandable.

You are brave to be a sub, it is a hard job to do.

Being in the classroom all day long is difficult, but you have a reign on the kids-but coming in as the sub, you are fair game for the kids.......................

I once had a 5th grader I had to have suspended and ultimately he failed 5th grade because of that suspension. Some of the students had been telling me he brought a gun to school and it was in his locker. When I took all the kids to music, I pulled him out and we walked to his locker together as I explained to him what was going on and what I'd been told. We had a very good relationship although it was not that way with some of the other teachers/authority in general......but he liked me and trusted me. When we got to his locker, I looked at him and his eyes were filled with tears. He knew what was to happen. Sure enough a small handgun was in his locker. I took it out and we walked together to the principal's office. I never saw him again after that day. He was gone for the rest of the year and I switched school districts the following year. I will never forget him. He would be about 24 yrs old now. I later found out it was his parents that bought him that gun for his birthday. How I so wish I could help kids in trouble now. But I'm raising my own and that's a job in itself.
