‘Cuz it ain’t. You get no respect. Sure, there are days you get to sub for a PE teacher and can include yourself in a game of dodge ball. But there are just as many days that your lesson plans have you watching “Dead Poet’s Society” 4 times in a day. Carpe Diem, my ass.
Here’s an actual apology note from 7th grader Samuel Richards* after he snuck out of my class and another teacher caught him and his gang roaming the halls.

“Mr. Ward
I am Samuel. I was one of the three students that were involved in this simple misunderstanding today. As you already know, us three were just going to go get our homework from our teachers classroom. We didn’t have any homework that could be done in the choir classroom (needed research & certain equipment) so we wondered if we could go to the gym. Me & Brian (Brian – tall guy) waited outside the doors while Mike asked if we can. He secretly needed to go to counselors Office (I think he mentioned it to you). So you told us we needed passes so we went to the gym to get them, while Mike wanted to go to the counselors Office. While we were walking to the gym, we got stopped by Mr. Anderson. She noticed we didnt have passes to be walking in the hallway. (big mistake on our part, we forgot to get passes from YOU so that we can get a pass from the GYM teacher) So we got turned in to you looking like criminals. I admit, it was kinda stuipid on our part, we shouldve just wAtched the movie but we were BORED. SORRY for all this, it was, like I said, a simple misunderstanding.”
