You have a great sense of humor, Marie. Kids relate to that, and since you aren't a sub, you know the kids you're dealing with and how to get through to them. Kudos to you for volunteering!!!!Diana McCollumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827594305973746696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748120279251102636.post-67223704304534030582013-03-11T17:00:31.377-07:002013-03-11T17:00:31.377-07:00Sounds like the sub teacher has absolutely NO sens...Sounds like the sub teacher has absolutely NO sense of humour....<br /><br />The kids, with you being around them on a regular basis, will have known that you were joking and having fun - they need humour and light heartedness even when in school.....<br /><br />Angi is right - as a parent helper in the school, you have a little more rope to play with and do get away with saying and doing things that a teacher can't or won't consider.....<br /><br />I think this female today go her knickers in a knot over nothing and if she gave herself 2 minutes to think about it, she'd see that's the case!!!Book Loving Pixieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168771252629260483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748120279251102636.post-1718480353731292442013-03-11T15:16:07.284-07:002013-03-11T15:16:07.284-07:00Too funny and too silly on the teacher's part....Too funny and too silly on the teacher's part.

I was THE parent teachers fought over to get my kids in their classes LOL <br /><br />They all also understood who I was and where I stood. That I was there as support for them but if they wouldn't (or couldn't) deal with a disrespectful child ... I certainly would. I could get away with a lot more than a teacher could. <br /><br />I think I did a pretty good job with those kids. Several of them friended ME on facebook :) Love those kids to death.

Before I ever went in to volunteer, I m...Yeah, Sue. Before I ever went in to volunteer, I made sure the teacher knew I write spicy romance--not that I would teach the kids how to write THAT, but so she would know and not get in trouble for having me in class.<br /><br />I honestly don't see how the sub could view what I said as anything but a poor attempt at humor. But like you said, you never know.<br /><br />Part of the problem might be that I have a snarky sense of humor, and I know these kids and they know me. I gave a talk about writing at the beginning of the year and used similarly teasing comments in front of the teachers too. No biggie. <br /><br />I think this was just a case of an older teacher thinking way inside the box.

A funny story true, but be careful.
That ...Marie,<br /><br />A funny story true, but be careful.<br /><br />That substitute might report you to the administration for offering inappropriate suggestions and get you banned from being a classroom aide. Or the administration doesn't want to deal with defending you, so banning you is just easier.<br /><br />Today's society is just that f**ked up and there are some individuals who are put in a position of authority who don't know how to handle it and go off the deep end trying to make their preferences law. Or administrations take the path of least resistance because it usually is the past of the least offended. <br /><br />I hope you get to enjoy many more days in your kid's classroom!Sue V.noreply@blogger.com
