My First Day of Subbing
Many years ago, I decided to sub while my kids were little. Yes, of course I expected it to be different from all my college teaching. So...I got a call to finish out the year for a former student of mine who had terminal cancer.
I explained why I was there to the class and asked if they had any questions. One kid raised his hand and said, "Dr._, this kid over here just called me an F-A-G-E-T." I panicked! Was I supposed to yell at him? Correct his spelling? Laugh?"
Just then, another student hollered, "No, stupid! It's F-A-G-U-T!" Aggghhh! I laughed until I literally cried at the stupidity of the whole thing and kicked the first one out in the hall.
