Walk in and get them working on something--anything-- within the first five minutes. If you believe you know what you're doing and you're in control, the kids will see that in how you carry yourself, and they'll try you less. If you walk in all nervous and unsure, they'll exploit that and make your life hell for a day. That's got to be true regardless of what type of school you're in. <BR/><BR/>Dangit Hillbilly Mom, now I'm all self conscious about my prepositions!!!

Because I was sure your comment was published, but when I went to writin' the responses, it had disappeared, so I had to go back and publish it again, and now it looks like I left you out of the proper order, but that was not the intention.<BR/><BR/>I don't know much about Montessori schools. The last I heard was from a friend of a friend who had a very young child attending one in the Kansas City area, and she said he studied what he was interested in. (Preposition-ending sentence #1209)<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if my advice would be very good for a school that is not as regimented as a redneck public school. And even then, I could only keep a sub from roasting, but not from getting very hot and sweaty.<BR/><BR/>I am not as fired up on the substitute issue this year, having missed only one day, which was to attend a conference in the library, right across from my classroom, and the sub was a good one, not at all like the one who told the kids dirty jokes and took them outside to walk around the school and rearranged the furniture in my classroom.<BR/><BR/>If I start to feel like my vast knowledge of substitute training tips is building up a head of steam, I will surely write a post about it for you.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31782548.post-79862853668728277152007-03-01T21:44:00.000-06:002007-03-01T21:44:00.000-06:00Miss Ann,I think you're onto something.

Maybe this will do the trick.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure I saw the girl who thought she was God. Was she the stripper who yelled at her sister for bringing her some lunch, and walked on top of all the trash piled up in the shed she was living in? (Preposition-ending sentence #1208).<BR/><BR/>Diva,<BR/>Funny you should say that, because I went and did one before even reading this comment. Right after I took your little quiz thingy.<BR/><BR/>Cazzie, <BR/>Great Googley Moogley! I forgot all about my promise. Sorry to say it is not a man, but a double dispenser filled with rolls of toilet paper bigger than my head. And my ego! I am not lovin' it.

This way they're too busy getting high and drunk to go "A documentary about addiction? Sure, I'll participate. Hey, wait, doesn't that Intervention show on t.v. tell people that they're on <I>'a documentary about addiction'</I>??" <BR/><BR/>Assuming there are enough remaining brain cells to make the connection. That seems unlikely with some of those folks. Did you see the girl who thought she was God?Mommy Needs a Xanaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01807707012305893563noreply@blogger.com
