The Big Lotion Commotion

The fact that teachers cannot chose their substitutes is a terrible truth. Because it really does suck when you get someone way worst that your teacher or when your teacher is awesome and you just have to get the crankiest replacement they can find. Today was one of those days where we hand the cranky temp. It started off bad and ended pretty bad to since I didn't finish my packet. She gave me to much to talk about which didn't help me improve upon the fact that I really didn't want to do it in the first place. The Norwegian Princess Bad and my sass master were not helping me out either. Aw yes, and I had my lotion taken away as well. Growing up older people are always trying to get children to share, but sharing in high school creates to much of a distraction. (Be prepared for a somewhat uncalled for and disrespectful comment) Is it really the students fault if moving objects distract a teacher. I could understand if I threw the thing all the way across the room right in front of her face though, but that isn't at all what was happening. I hadn't even noticed that it was being passed around to more that just two people. We were hardly talking as well. I love the substitutes that just hand out the papers and just at the desk doing whatever they have time to do. If only every temporary teacher could be like Ms. Chicha, the Hello Kitty man, Mr. Knight, or Mr. Thompson's friend. Those were good subs  that were not creepy they helped if you ASKED and did not go through long explanations of things that we have been doing since the sixth grade. It is really unfortunate when you are subjected to other's frustrations. All this really did was make me laugh and make my appreciation for Mr. Thompson grow ten times for today.

Thank you for being a superb teacher Mr. Thompson you are sincerely appreciated by this young lady right here even though you used my name as the subject of the last hot seat, but all is forgiven as long as you don't leave us often.

Yeah, it's a "terrible truth" as to why teachers cannot pick their substitutes. This substitute had some issues with lotion being passed around the classroom. I have never had a teacher or substitute have a problem with this. Mr. Thompson is an excellent teacher and he totally understands the students.
