LOTS OF BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS IN THIS CLASS. thats the worst thing to see as a sub. i shouldn't have taken the warning lightly. i thought i did a pretty good job until i found out they stole my wallet from my purse and took all my money. never found out who did it..

Ouch. The school I work at isnt horrible. It was 100x worse 8-9 years ago when I was in middle school. But it isnt a great school by any means. The neighhood is full of crime. And I spotted like 3 drug dealers in a 3 block radius. :ugh:
