But I might have a total misconception of public American shools tough. The only thing I know about them comes from movies so...
    Just a question but how old are those kids you're teaching (I don't know the American system so grade 8 doesn't ring a bell to me)

    The kids would be around 13-14 years old. In the British System, they would be in Secondary 1 or 2.

    Did a little substituting in college at the high school i graduated from, it was odd supervising kids who I knew as a high school student and gave wedgies to.

    Also did some in southside OKC, pretty crappy neighborhoods and school system, and the garbage that came out of these kids mouths was a real eye opener. I still to this day remember a little girl, who couldnt have been any older than 13 or 14, walking down the hall singing the old vulgar NWA rap about giving oral sex, right in front of teachers and students alike, as if she were proud, and it didn't seem to bother anyone. Thats not me being old guy saying "these kids today" because I was only 22 at the time

    I also did a 3rd grade class once where the kids gather outside the door in the morning waiting for the bell to ring. It was hilarious listening to them peek through the windows saying stuff they had no idea about like "is that our substitute? does he look gay? yup! hes gay alright" I passed around a picture of my girlfriend once class started.

    For the most part, I hated it, but it was easy part time work. I couldn't imagine doing it full time.
