Taking a day off as a teacher is never really a day off, because it requires more work than actually going to work. Sub plans, attendance rosters, in-case-of extension numbers, and nightmares of how my students will act invade my R&R. I had a sub on Wednesday and consequently “invited” four boys to lunch detention today with yours truly. Their punishment? Scrubbing down my classroom. I assigned one young man the task of scraping gum off the bottom of the desks with an index card. Our conversation went as follows…
S: “But this is hard!”
Me: “It’s supposed to be.”
S: “Why?”
Me: “Because what you did was wrong!”
S: “This should be illegal.”
Me: “You should be illegal!”
S: “I am illegal!”
What a gem.
