My third period was cancelled. The school is getting ready for sports day on Friday.
The lady who sits beside me speaks English. She got called away and asked if I would take her class, and she would hook me up later.
Sure, no problem.
So I go over to my co-teacher.
"Hey, let's go." I said.
He says class was cancelled.
"No problem", I said. "We'll just find another class to teach in."
"What?"
"I't s ok", I say. "There's bound to be another classroom without a teacher."
"No, we have no schedule.", he says.
I'm still walking down the hall. He is scurrying after me trying to convince me that I can't just walk into a class and teach.
I sidestep him a couple of times before I get to the right classroom. I walk on by and then stop, go back, look inside, and then enter. he's standing out in the hall still trying to tell me that I can't do this.
"Dude, it's cool. You only get in trouble for NOT teaching!"
"Class! Captain! Let's get going!"

And so the class went. He dithered about in the hall..he so wanted to come in...and he so wanted to run away. I've never really seen a man "in a tizzy" before, and I mean a full on tizzy that my British granny used to throw.
He never did catch on that no other teacher showed up and told me that I was in big trouble.

Sometimes my job is so worth it.

LOL - one of the reasons why I never 'take' a CT anywhere. They can show up if they want when they want. Fortunately the two I have for grade 1 MS and grade 1 vocational HS do usually come, and those are the only classes where I'd really prefer to have one.

I have, however, gone to teach the wrong class by accident on occasions. I was once three minutes into a lesson when the science teacher who actually had that block showed up. The students didn't say a thing to me. Perhaps they just find science even more boring than English, who knows.

Yeah, at my last school, I started on the wrong class a couple of times. Once, the teacher whose class it was, saw me in the window and just kept on walking by. I think that was the first time and as soon as I saw him, I knew I was in the wrong class. After the class he said it was ok, and that he didn't want to embarrass me. He sure got that right.

I do miss those times of annoying my first coteacher- but her refusal to follow even the most basic of GEPIK recommendations was too much- I can see how COOPERATION and TEAM MEETINGS are so out of touch with reality... Then she broke my glasses...

So I gave her the English name of TOOTIE- the first really annoying TV character that came to mind. her goodlooking friend at school became BLAIRE of course!

No, but the one who was actually nice had to be Mrs Garrett.... ironic, as she was the youngest...

I became "Dr McDreamy" after I caught my coteacher downloading episodes of Grey's Anatomy on the school internet connection.

I don't know, but Im pretty sure that ISNT part of the acceptable use policy. I'll have to ask at the next GEPIK shindig to confirm that.
