I asked my 10 year old dd and the first thing she said were treats. I told her no treats and she said little toys??? She had a sub that brought in little stuffed animals and the kids that did something nice got to have one sit on their desk. This would work probably in 3rd grade on down for both boys and girls.

I asked my 11 year old son and he said there was nothing a sub could do except no work and PE all day. LOL

When my dd was in second grade I helped out a lot in the class. One day I came in to grade papers and there was a sub. I didn't even recognize the children in the class. I don't understand why they have to act up for a sub. We had a sub in kindergarten and first that would carry a puppet monkey named George. The kids loved George and that sub.

My dd is always good in class either with a sub or her teacher. She would die if she were to get in trouble in class. The thing that really bothers her is when someone gets in trouble for doing something that is ok to normally do in class. Like say get a book from the book shelf when done doing their work. A sub will tell the child to turn their clip. The child says our teacher lets us get up and the sub says well I don't go change your clip. The kids think this is very unjust. Good luck, I think being a sub is one of the hardest jobs of all time.
