Substitute Training

I had substitute training today.  It was, um... ummm... interesting.

Let me tell you one thing I learned FOR. SURE.  The parents of the children in this school district should be afraid.  Very afraid.

The email that was sent to me (and I'm sure everyone else in that room) specified that the dress code for today's training was "business casual."  I wore some flats with my trouser pants and a rouched purple shirt.

The girl next to me wore jeans, flip flops, and a T-shirt.  And a nose ring.

The guy in the Mustang that parked next to me wore jeans, flip flops, a backwards hat, and (my favorite) a little bitty T-shirt that came up his back about 8 inches to expose his underwear when he stood up to introduce himself.

These are the people that are molding the minds of our youth.  People that obviously can't READ an email.  Either that, or they aren't responsible enough to check their email.  Luckily, everyone in that room had to pass a criminal background check before being admitted. 

Upon further examination of my peers, I came to conclude that the requirements for a substitute teacher include the following:

1. no sense of fashion or trends
2. plain, straight hair with no type of style
3. no make up
4. homely appearance

I don't know if I'm going to be able to fulfill these job requirements because, frankly ya'll.... I am just too cute.  If I ever needed a self esteem boost, that was the perfect one.
