When I substituted, I never had any problems. The classes were well behaved and worked on whatever assignments had been left for them to do (I know.. sounds like "fantasy land").
It was when I became a teacher that this all changed. Working with the students I have now (who are nothing but discipline problems), it's a wonder I haven't blown my lid.
But I remember when I was in 8th grade, in a private school... I had this teacher who looked like an Amish freak of nature. He had this flaming red hair, beard, no mustache. He would lose his temper at the slightest thing. One day he got so angry, he started screaming at the entire class, throwing chalk, picked up desks and tossed them (luckily no students got hurt). He did dent a couple of lockers in the hallway though. I remember this every time my students aggravate the shit out of me.
