Sub Problems

I am going to apologize in advance for all of my school stories. If they get boring tell me and I will try to do some new things. Just tell me so I know.

So I used to have this teacher. She was like the kind you would see in a movie- not in a good way. She well, she likes to drone on. She had this weird grumpy voice. She had a song for ever city. (She was my Geography (H) teacher.) When ever somebody or whenever she would say "Philadelphia" she would bust out singing "Philadelphia freedom Shine on meeeee" It was really annoying. She always ALWAYS complained that her back hurt and she was a harsh grader. An A was hard to come by. Then she told us she was going to go in for back Surgery and would be back in about 2 months. Great!!! Well atleast at the time it sounded great. So we got this Sub. He was soo Cool! His name was Mr.Gordon. He taught us sooo much. He brought us up to speed on where we should have been. We even got to play games and he made cool power points about the guillotine and on Vlad. Then one Friday when we walked in he was crying. And we all noticed all of his Chess boards we gone. You see this guy LOVES chess. He taught us all how to play. He was even in the World Chess Championships. The one thing about Mr.Gordon was that he taught us really important lessons in a way that I will never forget. One of those I would like to share with you. But I will use that lesson/story for my next post because it would take forever. So Mr.Gordon told us that the District had him "fired" or "released. The whole school went Nutso! So then we continued on with substitute Number 2.

Sub number 2 was Mr.Dunne. ( as in Done) And he was ok but man he was way strict. He did a whole day on just explaining us the school rules. Come on! I think a bunch of 9th Graders are smart enough to know that we cant chew Gum and we are only allowed to use the Hall Pass 2 times per quarter, unless of an emergency. But obviously he felt the need to explain that to us. He was from Ireland and had a wacky accent. But it was fun to listen to him talk. He taught us some. But not a lot. He said OK after every word. No joke. But he was nice to us. After a grand total of being with is for about 2-3 weeks he got a permanent teaching position. He failed to tell us and were shocked to find out the following Monday. Now by this time Mrs.Buhler was supposed to have been back already. She lefted before Thanksgiving and now its Almost Easter. So now we are continuing with sub number 3.

So when I came into the class and Mr.Dunne wasn't there I just figured he was sick and he would be back the next day. This new "permanent Sub" ( yeah right the other 2 were supposed to be "permanent" also) addressed her self as Ms.Sams. I thought she was going to be an OK sub but oh no no she is the worst ever. She treats us like we are in kindergarten and finishes ever sentence with " Boys and Girls" we have gotten the privilege of using " Art to help our brains". She said she would only be here for about a week. Good I thought cuz I cant stand any more of this. But on Friday she told us that she was going to be staying for the end of the School year. Crap. Normally I would have been pleased to find out that Buhler wasn't coming back. It would have been great if Mr.Gordon was the permanent sub. But no we are stuck with Ms. Kindergarten ( did I fail to mention she used to be a kindergarten teacher!) for the rest of the school year. I am learning absolutely nothing and I am really sick of hearing "Boys and Girls" every second for 45 minutes every day. I am very sorry if this sounsd like I am complaining. But I went from Good teacher to OK to bad and now I am stuck in bad teacher mode for the rest of the year. I call it the Foster Teacher System. It doesn't work , nobody wants to teach a bunch of 9th graders.

This got me thinking about God. Boy am I glad he doesn't desert me and leave me in the "Foster Care System"!!No matter how rough of times I am having I will always know he is there. I may forget how much he loves me, and I may forget that he is there for me- but the truth is He WILL ALWAYS be there for me. I may have to change teachers every week but God is FOREVER and His love will NEVER fail matter how many times that I will for get this, God will ALWAYS be there for me.
