I forgot whether or not I told our school secretary that I was attending the OSPI conference next week. And she's the only one who gets the subs for the school. And most are probably already taken, so I may end up with Soulja Girl as the sub for my class... for three days. It's impossible to describe the amount of stress this has caused me since I realized that I may not have requested a sub or the nightmares I've had about the state of our school building.
Soulja Girl is our bottom of the list sub. The absolute bottom, can't even scrape enough teachers together to cover the classes sub. My first year, she was my sub for one day. During that day she probably read over 200 pages of the latest bodice-ripper. The students violated my stuffed cougar, did not work, ran about the building screaming and lit books on fire. She didn't notice. The vice-principal also stood on the doorway for over 20 minutes and she NEVER even looked up. You think she would have noticed the sudden silence... but apparently not.
After that she had a long chat about her remaining a sub... which leads us to the title Soulja Girl. Earlier this year she subbed and instead of doing class work (or God forbid, teach), the students taught her how to do the Soulja Boy dance. They filmed it with their phones. I'm really surprised it's not on YouTube - I was shown it at least four times. Good times. At least nothing was set on fire. If she is my sub, I'm wondering what will happen with my students? Another dance? Roasting marshmallows?
Even more scary? She's the only "fully-qualified" sub we have.
