GOOD LUCK!! what grade? i used to sub a lot. it def gets overwhelming, but make sure u call for help if u need it! and just keep faking confidence even when ur terrified. they feed off of insecurity. don’t get into power struggles w students, give them options (“you can return to your seat or sit in the office”) instead of directions

oh yay! i subbed for a bit before i got my current job. middle school was definitely the hardest for me lol. they have the energy of toddlers and the defiance of seniors… it’s fascinating and scary to watch. best of luck!
