She might look younger than her years, but having detention is a whole new ball game, especially at the age of 24 and when you’re a teacher!
A Substitute Teacher
She worked as a substitute teacher at various local high schools. It was an enjoyable job most of the time, the only issue ever being difficult kids who refused to abide by the rules.
Decent Schools
Usually, she’d been really lucky and tended to have placements at the better schools. However, on the odd occasion, there would be one bad apple that would cause disruption to the rest of the class.
Youthful Looks
She was 24 years of age but has been told that she looks younger than her years a few times. She takes it as a compliment, though as a teacher, it can sometimes be problematic when seeking respect.
A Small Frame
At just 5ft 2 inches, petite in stature and slim build, she accepted that she looked young. Her hair was also bobbed and fashionably messy, so again, it could easily support the concept of her looking younger.
Niggly Teachers
She rarely had issues with teaching staff, though there were times when permanent teachers could project a sense of ownership over their jobs. She was merely there for the short term, and some of them loved to make her feel small.
A Comical Incident
At one of the schools she worked at, one of the teachers clearly thought she looked younger than she was. However, it was quite comical and not at all what she’d expected when she left for work that morning.
A Telling Off
The teacher approached her while she was glancing at her phone and forcibly asked her: “Why aren’t you in uniform? And no phones during school!” She thought he was talking to a student, so she ignored him.
Giving Her a Lecture
He wasn’t. He remained firmly in position and glared at her angrily. “Excuse me, don’t ignore me!” He then proceeded to snatch her phone out of her hand with excessive force!
Answering Back
She was absolutely horrified! “What the hell? Give that back; I’m not a student.” The teacher stared at her as though she’d threatened to do something absolutely appalling to him.
In Detention
The teacher became red-faced. “Right then, that’s detention for swearing at a teacher!” She didn’t even swear! Did he mean hell? He continued: “You will get your phone back at the end of the day, but now you will come down to the office and tell the principal about how disrespectful you are being!”
Setting Him Up
By this point, she thought it would be funnier to let him complain to the principal. It just so happened that she played netball with this very principal and really wanted to see his reaction.
A Strong Rant
The teacher was raging. He was saying she deserved to be suspended and that students always had their phones out, yada yada! He really felt as though justice was about to be served to a very naughty student!
Panic Stations
She and the principal were just trying not to laugh before she told him she was a teacher, too. There was a moment of confusion, followed by a moment of realization. Finally, the moment of panic!
Calm and Collected
She looked at the teacher and smiled. “Now, give me my phone back. Don’t you have a class to teach? Because I do!” Seeing the expression on the teacher’s face was the most wonderful moment in history.
Forced Apology
She had never seen anyone go so red. The teacher stumbled over his words and muttered some semblance of an apology. She tilted her head towards him as though she couldn’t hear him properly.
Avoiding Blame
The teacher glanced at her, flushed with embarrassment. She said: “Sorry, was that an apology?” The teacher wasn’t forthcoming and clearly didn’t like being in the wrong.
Making Excuses
He looked to the principal, who remained stoic about the whole thing. He looked back at her. “Well, I just assumed that being in the corridor and looking at a cell, well, it isn’t exactly…”
On the Spot
At this point, the principal piped up. “Mr Anderson, are you trying to apologize?” The teacher flared his nostrils and then said: “Apologies!” He then left the room at the speed of an Olympian sprinter.
Showing Him Up
Although she’d been told she looked younger, she’d never actually been given a detention before, so that was a first. She looked forward to seeing the same teacher in the common room during break time!
