6. I've substituted in schools where the teachers,
typically the young "bimbo" types, couldn't spell for anything and couldn't even capitalize correctly.

For example, I went into a first- or second-grade class to substitute, and the teacher did not capitalize "Halloween" or "Christmas" correctly. She was teaching SPELLING, for crying out loud, and apparently spelling the holidays, and she didn't know how to capitalize.

No doubt she had family connections in this district in order to keep her job. I would be outraged going into these classrooms, and here I couldn't get a job to save my life.

Then when I DID get a job with the district, well, let's put it this way...I've hated myself for ever working for such a crooked outfit.
