1 Principle, 2 principle hahaha

Subbing is the thing I like least about my job. But I get stuck with alot. That's the risk of being a TA with a degree. They can legally have you teach.
On this day, I was stuck with a very "interesting" class. 1-3rd periods weren't that bad. No, they were just he warm up. 4th period was the definite winner for the "Drive me Crazy!" award.
I did everything I could think of. I yelled. I threatened. I cajoled. Finally I called the office. I was very surprised to see not only Ms. H, but also Ms. P (a counselor who used to have this class). Even then they would not shut up. Eventually, Ms. H got them quiet (well quiet enough), and took them outside one at a time to talk to them. Then Ms. P taught the class. It was freaking amazing how she started explaining about verbs and suddenly those bratty faces were filled with rapt attention. It blew my mind.
Well after this I thought, Ok, the rest of the day will be ok. Ms. P stayed for the first part of 5th period. She had to go back to her office, but she told them she'd be back in 15 minutes. 5 minutes after they left, the talking started. And got louder. Finally, an instructional specialist, Mrs. R, came over. She has had lots of experience working with difficult classes. But these kids, nothing. Just kept chattering. Sure, 70% would be quiet, but the other 30% would keep going. We had four girls in there with horrible attitudes. You'd try to correct them and they would act all "sassy".
Well Ms. H came by. And Ms. P came back. It wasn't until Ms. H took the sassy bunch to the office and Ms. P kicked two boys out of class, that things finally quieted down. 30 kids, and 4 adults. How can any class be that bad?
