What are the most interesting supply teaching stories you've heard?

One challenging story was about a supply teacher who walked into a class where the students were very disrespectful. They talked over the teacher, refused to do any work. The teacher had to constantly try to regain control throughout the day, but it was really difficult as they seemed to have no respect for authority.

One memorable story is of a teacher who visited a school in a war - torn area. Despite the difficult conditions, the students were still coming to school. The teacher brought some solar - powered devices for learning. The students were so excited to have access to new knowledge in such a tough situation. It was really inspiring to see their determination.

A teacher taught in Japan. She was impressed by the students' respect for teachers. They would bow and greet her very politely every day. Also, the school had a very strict schedule which she had to follow precisely. It was a unique experience for her to be in such an orderly educational environment.

There was a story where a teacher visited a school in a far - flung island. The local language was different from what the teacher knew. But through gestures and simple drawings, the teacher was able to teach basic arithmetic. The kids were so excited when they finally understood the concepts. This shows that teaching is not just about language but also about the connection between the teacher and the students.

I heard about a teaching assistant who was helping with a PE class. He was supposed to show the students how to do a long jump. But when he took off, his shoelace came undone and he tripped and landed face - first in the sandpit. The students were worried at first but then couldn't stop laughing when they saw he was okay.

There was this art teacher who took the students to a junkyard for an art project. The students had to find objects in the junkyard and turn them into works of art. They made sculptures out of old car parts and used discarded metal sheets as canvases. It was a really crazy and unconventional teaching idea that led to some amazing art pieces.

The story of a man who found a letter in his attic that was written by someone who lived in his house 100 years ago, addressed to him. It was really spooky as if time had some sort of loop.

I'm not sure about a particular 'lelo story' in detail. However, it could be that a person was initially shy about exploring their own sensuality, but through a Lelo product, they gained more confidence. They started to understand their own body better and this led to a more positive self - image. This new - found confidence might have also had a positive impact on their relationships with others.

One interesting 'eastside story' I heard was about a community garden. People on the eastside came together to transform an abandoned lot into a beautiful garden filled with flowers and vegetables. It became a place for neighbors to bond and share their love for nature.

I heard of a case where a kid's orthodontic headgear got stuck on a fence while he was playing. It was a really funny yet scary moment for him. Luckily, his parents were able to free him quickly without any harm to his teeth or the headgear.
