Differences

Want to know the biggest difference between the detention center and working as a sub?

When I'm a substitute teacher I have no problem standing in between 2 boys that want to fight....if I'm at the detention center I just call a male staff on my radio.

Why? I'm not scared of 8th grade boys in middle school....but kids at the detention center are a different kind of crazy.

I found it a little funny today as I stood between two eight graders who wanted to fight over some kid making fun of another....because I would just get out of the way if a similar situation occurred at the detention center!

Who doesn't love snow days?

We've gotten a ton of snow the past few days and a blizzard warning starts at 1pm today.
Of course all the schools are cancelled. So who doesn't ever want a snow day? ME!
Snow days mean school is cancelled and therefore my work as a substitute is not needed...which means NO pay for me today :(

Here's the snow falling on Monday and the ugly snowman my friend, Rachelle, and I made.

Today's youth...tomorrow's future.

The other day at work a resident told me that I "must have done a lot of crack and my nose looks like Michael Jackson's" now what horrible, mean, unfair thing did I tell this 15 year old girl that would possess her to rudely tell me this?

I reminded her she needed to be seated quietly during focus group.

Ohhhh the joys of working at a juvenile detention center.

PS...i'm not seeing any resemblance....
