Special education subs..... Geeze
I want to preface this post by saying I am not a perfect teacher and i am not a "special person" because I can handle teaching special education.
I am always floored by the individual's who sign up to substitute special education. They tend to fall into one of the 4 categories
53% have no clue about special Ed and are extremely uncomfortable around the kids I teach. This really just angers me.
36% think our students are "sweet" and sub with us because they think we go to the store and watch movies all days. These are the subs that ask me ignorant questions.
12% - 1 of the first two types or random person who kinda gets it and is trainable. They see that there is more and want to learn and make a difference.
2% these are previous special Ed teachers and some paras who are fabulous. Also the odd person who loves and accepts unconditionally. I have only ever seen 2 of these subs!

"The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds."— Henry Rollins - The Iron"
