I only stayed for a few hours today, mainly because there was a substitute, which I was unaware of until I arrived. The sub had no clue what she was doing, and was not very nice to the students. I know how it is to be a sub, and one thing is not to treat people disrespectfully. If she wants their respect, they have to have her respect. I did get to tag along while they went to the local nursing home and read to the residents. I will definitely have my students do this, it was so amazing how much it touched the residents when they were read to. If the students needed help with a word, the residents could help them. For there being a substitute, I thought the students were quite well behaved, but I guess they ended up getting a bad note.
