The Substitute
Substitute Teacher Charged In Desk-Throwing Incident
ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. -- A substitute teacher at a Pasquotank County middle school was supposed to be teaching communications skills to eighth-graders, but his approach has landed him in big trouble.
Authorities have charged Alvin Jerome Lewis of Elizabeth City with multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting injury for allegedly throwing desks at his students.
Chief sheriff's Deputy Doug Hooper said officials don't know what led to desks being tossed at eighth-grade students and hitting them during the class.
One student said the teacher became angry after four or five students threw wads of paper at him.
Parents of all students at Elizabeth City Middle School received a letter from assistant principal Barbara Williams.
The letter said there had been a situation with a substitute teacher at the school that had resulted in seven students being slightly injured.
........................
I did sub teaching for a few years.
I have some stories I'll share here.
I know we have several teachers here.
This is a place to discuss what you've done.
I'll just bet you never threw a desk at anyone.
I'll also bet you wanted to a few times.
I did...
The rest of you probably had some subs.
You may have even hounded them out of their love of teaching.
heh heh...
Can you recall them?
