Elementary Mindwipe?
Like ive said before, it’s funny how the kids I teach day to day think that since i'm a substitute, that i’m not supposed to remember their names; Especially when the new school year starts. Even though it's the same year, i've noticed the mindstate of students & teachers shift as is it’s a brand new year and every thing totally restarts anew. Along with new classrooms and new grade levels, I wondered was that how I thought when I was younger.
When I call them out they quickly ask "How'd you remember my name"? Of course they want to punk me out by saying "You just read the attendance sheet!" or "You heard someone else say my name!" yet that seldom happens. Some of the kids are so damn memorable from other classes it's definitely hard not to. Automatically that gives them an instant note to themselves that I'm not to be fucked with easily. I guess they don’t realize that there the same students I have had trouble with are easy to remember due to writing so many referrals on them in the past.
