That question is where this picture, positioned next to Goofus and Gallant perhaps, would come in:
THEY'RE JUST LIKE US!
They eat stale Chips-Ahoy!
Miss Robertson stepped downstairs to get a bag of chocolate chip cookies and a pop. Sources close to the Grand Forks substitute teacher report that she often eats vending machine food for dessert.That one picture wouldn't even begin to make a dent in changing most students' responses to seeing their teachers in the suburban wild, however. As a sub, I run into kids I've taught nearly every day, and I've learned that their reactions range from embarrassed, shy surprise (hiding behind their mothers' coats) to excited, loud surprise (the little girl at my building's pool). This tabloid-style photo layout would have to be a regular feature, then, with occasional special edition inserts aimed at other school employees: "Principals: They're Just Like Us" or "Paraprofessionals: They're Just Like Us!"
Witness (and please forgive the Myspace quality of these photos):
THEY'RE JUST LIKE US!
Their hair gets frizzy!
We snapped Miss Robertson reading a book near her Grand Forks apartment. It was unclear if the sub, who recently moved from Chicago, had remembered to brush her hair that morning.THEY'RE JUST LIKE US!
They go to the grocery store!
Miss Robertson was caught wearing her favorite sunglasses on the way back from the local Hugo's. The thrifty GFPS sub apparently had a coupon for her favorite pop.In other news, I've been looking for a photo to include with the resume packet I hand out to principals. I think I've found it.
