I'm sorry, but I have no pity on any teacher of any kind. You choose to put yourself in front of a class, knowing what could and will probably happen. In school I guess you could say I was one of the kids that picked on a sub. Since you usually end up seeing the same subs over and over you learn what each sub will tolerate and what they're breaking point is and it becomes sort of a game. Who can push a sub the farthest without being sent to the prinicpal? As a side note there are two times that vividly stick out in my head. In 8th grade a female substitue made the mistake of leaving her purse on the desk when she left the room. We borrowed a tampon from the purse and played football with it. That same year another sub was reading some book on sexuality during class. (The title escapes my mind right now) Anyways, I and a few others accused her of being a lesbian and found it highly funny. As a substitue teacher you're basically wearing a post-it note with 'kick me' wrote on it.
