Many Incidents Occur C ' an you imagine the situations and feelings substitutes go through? When a substitute walks in the door, students immediately think that they can get away with anything. Some substitutes enjoy working, but find it hard because students don ' t give them respect. I usually enjoy substituting, though there are times that certain classes make me wish I were unemployed, commented Joe Galvin. Substitutes usually have many inter- esting incidents that happen to them while substituting, Ben Randolph said, One time I had no lesson plan and one of the beginning Math classes said they were a Geometry class, so I started teaching them Geometry. Many wonder why any substitute would keep working, with the harass- ment they go through. Some do it be- cause of the lack of credentials to be o permanent teacher, others substitute as a necessary means of money to pay bills. Mr. Hernandez had a different reason when asked why he kept substituting. To be able to communicate with the students, express different ideas, try to continue their educational progress, and to give advice. It is an on-going thing — seeing students I know, and giv- ing them my views on something. ■A ' 1.

' h m 14 Program Complemented H, low would you feel if a student locked your purse, wallet, or keys in a file cabinet. Frustrated? This incident, plus others have happened to the aides at Rubidoux. This is my third year at RHS being an aide. I like working with the students and also the teachers are great to work for, stated Ms. Bartlebaugh. Unfortunately, aides are somewhat ignored and are not looked upon as port of the educational program. Many feel they are just here to help the teachers. Ms. Shrack, whose classroom has been brightened by her aides invaluable assis- tance, said, Aides complement the en- tire educational manual, visual and communication skills needed to assist students in meeting their educational needs. Aides quietly but surely en- hance the learning environment by cor- recting papers, running off dittos, and completing any other task that may cre- ate a block between the teachers ' time and the students ' learning. Besides merely working under teach- ers, aides also help the students. They provide the special care that some kids need. I enjoy working with kids; to me it is very entertaining, commented Ms. Pennington, ir 1. Mr. Wright and Mr. Soloman converse while woiting for their orders in the Falcon Room. 2.
