We both selected science classrooms at our HS which put us closer to having full coverage for our district for the day. My science class had 3 sections of general biology, 2 sections of physics, and 1 section of robotics. For the record, I've never been a substitute teacher before and prior to administration, I was a HS German teacher, not science, so this was something a little out of my comfort zone!

Our kids really do crave the opportunity to share their thoughts on issues that affect them.

Students really don't have a lot of freedom while at school and this impacts their attitude toward school.
Substitute teachers should be a more significant priority for school districts to minimize lost 'quality' learning time.
Administrators should commit to subbing for teachers both inside and outside of their building on a quarterly basis.
A full day of connecting with and interacting with students is a refreshing experience.
Students enjoy taking 'groupies' with their teachers.
In the end, this was a great experience and I look forward to doing it again.
