I had a conference on Friday (which I won't even dignify by telling you what it was about), and my friend subbed for me. I had a couple classes I was nervous about, my lowest level freshmen class, to begin with.
Sub told me all my classes were angelic, but she had an interesting experience with my freshmen class. ED girl came in and said to her, "I'm only being nice to you right now because you're friends with Miss Anon, and she asked me to be nice. Otherwise I'd be mean right now." I'm not sure whether to be happy that she was nice or bothered by the comment...or both??

Then there's the phenonmenon when, on their own, they decide to be NICER TO THE SUB than they ever have been to you!!
I've had several Jekyll and Hyde classes who received glowing reports from subs. (These are the classes that make you long for a nice dark room and a gallon of tequila.)
And their response when I ask 'em why they're not like that for me?
"Because Miss, you'd get used to it!!"
The mind boggles....
That was the response of my kids when i asked them why they were so good for her and such idiots for me. I told them that now I know they can behave like normal children, so I will expect it from now on.
