Dear Middle School Parents

Dear Middle School Parents,
You may not know this, but I used to be a sub. So when your kid acts up for my sub, your kid is getting detention. There's really not much more to it. How do I know it was your kid and not someone else's? Well, THE SUB TOLD ME.
Let me give you a little insight into the world of a substitute teacher. Subs don't have time to breathe. So the fact that my sub took the time to learn your child's name AND leave me a note about his behavior while still completing a PowerPoint over the Renaissance and Two-Point Perspective tells me your kid acted up. Plus, I could have assigned detention before I even hired the sub and I still would have been spot on with her "bad" list.
She didn't name the wrong kid. I'll see yours after school on Tuesday.
Love,
Ms. Nelson
