Remember when you were a kid and coming into school with a substitute teacher was either the best day ever or the worst? There was no middle ground. On the one hand, you could score the perfect sub who'd pop in a movie and let the class zone out all day. On the other hand, you might get the strict sub who decided to try to take control of the class, but they had no idea where you were in the lesson and ended up just leaving everyone confused. It's wild to think that nowadays, substitute teachers don't even need a degree in education to step in. Some of them are literally just filling a gap and hoping they make it through the day without things falling apart. But I guess that's basically how the rest of us feel at our jobs anyway.
This 17-year-old got the short end of the stick when it comes to subs. She tried to confiscate his cochlear implants, thinking they were just some regular headphones even after he explained they weren't. Things only got worse from there.
Sounds like she was on a power trip.
