I think I’m just a terrible sub
I only sub for middle school pe/ra and any high school. Pe/ra classes here are 45 minutes each and are usually smaller. Plus the kids actually want to be there so they’re more behaved. I signed up for gym at one of my okay middle schools. I get there and they swap me into a core class instead because there was a mix up and they didn’t need one for pe. The core teacher left me basically nothing. By the end of the 1st class I had called the office multiple times and my voice was hoarse. The second class was the same except no one came when I called. Finally I called and someone answered and I asked to be moved or leave. At this point I was nearly in tears because they were beyond not listening. I was hoping they would send me home but no they swapped me with another sub same grade level. This class was only slightly better but still didn’t care to listen. It was embarrassing having to explain and I felt terrible about swapping with the poor other sub that agreed to the swap. I am short and my voice isn’t very deep and they probably just don’t care to listen. I also really hate having to yell but I find I often have to. I set expectations at the start of class, idk what else to do. I walk the room, remind kids to work and to be quiet one on one but nothing seems to work. It’s just so embarrassing to be seen as someone that can’t reign the kids in.
