Substitute Teachers

There are a 3 types of substitute teachers:

Controlling: Doesn't allow talking, eating, sitting, standing, reading, or writing. Walks around and reads everything over your shoulder to make sure you're doing exactly what you're supposed to do. Responds to questions with something like, "You should have been paying attention when I explained it the first time."

Partially Laid Back: Allows talking but only quietly and walks around to make sure you're doing the work but doesn't read over your shoulder. Responds to questions with, "I'm not sure what your teacher had in mind. Why don't you keep working and ask them when they are back tomorrow?"

Non-Existent Laid Back: Allows students to do anything they want, trusting that they aren't doing anything their teacher would disapprove. Attempts polite conversation with some of the students but doesn't walk around the room. Responds to questions with a shrug.

The third option is always a class favorite except with the really smart kids who are actually trying to get work done. I work on stuff in class when there's a sub but I like the third option best because then I can get stuff done in the proper environment. I can also collaborate with my peers and talk about the projects.
That's all I have to say about that for now.
