bsent teachers Subs gain experience It's a change of pace to have a substitute teacherfl one senior said. Substitutes gave students a totally different teaching approach. A student had his own advan- tages when there was a substitute. You can switch your seats in class and sit by your friends,'i junior Carolyn Berg said. While some students ap- preciated the advantages, others didn't. They can't control the class, sophomore Sam Benigo said. They do not tell anyone to quiet down. They can't handle people very well, and they never understand the work you are do- ing, sophomore Wendy Kolarik said. Although instructors used substitutes to help, many teachers did not like to be absent. I miss the students. I do not like to be gone, biology teacher Mrs. Kathy Bodner said, It is hard for a sub- stitute to be in the classroom and not know the subject. It is easier to help the students with their assignments. I feel pretty good about having a substitute teacher, but I usually prefer not to have them, English teacher Mrs. Zita Prater said. Beingia substitute had good and bad points. I enjoy high school age students. It is an excellent part-time job, Mrs. Carol Winter- bottom said. However, at times she felt her job required more babysit- ting than teaching. When teachers were absent from school, substitutes guided students using their own ideas and influences. As a result, substitutes became more familiar with the students by helping them and gaining teaching experience. jBua 8: Inglej During the announcements, substitute Mrs. Arlene Bakner makes sure the students stay quiet in study hall.IPellerin1 Student Lifcf-Substitiites
