woozie :
I was signed on as a permanent sub for a kindergarten class at the beginning of the year. I had one kid that was an absolute nightmare, and genuinely needed to be removed from the class and given 1-on-1 education and intensive therapy. He was constantly in and out of my class due to his behavior; would violently attack me, my aide, the principal, the counselor, and any other sub that came into the room. Constant screaming tantrums, intentional distruption (barking at me, yelling, taking other student materials, causing arguments between students, etc.), and violent attacks sometimes at random. Admin would do nothing. Parents acted concerned, but ultimately did nothing. I quit that job because of that kid. My final straw was when he stomped on my foot and cracked my toenail because he couldn't get into the prize box due to poor behavior throughout the week. Admin did nothing. Not even a concerned "are you okay?".
Right after quitting, I got another permanent sub job for a high school position. I have plenty of distruption, but nothing to that kid's extreme. I even have a kid that's on parole, and she acts 100x better than he did in my class.
