one of the few subs I actually remember was a science-substitute (his specialty was biology), and he'd bring his snakes to class and let them wander about the class room and chill with the kids.

He actually cared about the kids he was teaching.

then there was the white South African sub that spent the entire class bitching about "discrimination" because she was denied scholarships for (black) South Africans affected by apartheid. she was just bitchy. (and credit to our history teachers, they found out about it and gave us an impromptu weeklong lesson on Apartheid.)

    Do all white South Africans suck? I knew a guy who applied for scholarships for African Americans because he's from Africa and he's American, he was bitching about getting denied during the interview stage for obvious reasons. He knew that African American meant something specific that definitely excluded him, he's just an asshole.

    I haven’t met all white South Africans… but, there does seem to a pattern.

    Edit to add: it might just be the ones fleeing from the consequences of Apartheid rather than all; and it’s not like I’ve personally met that many of them. (But we can lump musk and trump’s “refugees” into this pattern, too)
