So I can finally say that I'm a substitute teacher. The only thing I've done in this process was to get the certificate. With everything else going on(liquidating the business I work for, applying for school/getting ready to start school, looking for a new job), I haven't had a chance to actually sign up at any schools to sub. (You know... all that paper work and stuff). So today on my day off(what's that... they seem to be so few and far between now) I got a call from Warrensburg-Latham to sub half day. Now they must have been in a pickle b/c I've never subbed before. EVER. I know that the superintendents of each district get a list of new subs every month so that must be how they had my number. Well let me tell you I was scared stiff on the way to the school. But I had no reason to be. These 4th graders were great. They actually listened to me.
Maybe this just confirms that going back to school to be a teacher is really what I'm supposed to do. Or maybe I just got a great class.... b/c I know of one sub who broke up a fight last week and was bit by a student. I guess some subbing days just bite like that. :-)
