Today, I told my students that I would be absent tomorrow because my wife was giving birth. They burst into applause... not to congratulate me on the new baby. FML

Everyone loves substitute teachers. I'm guessing you teach a fairly young grade?

Pretty sure that in any grade level, substitute teacher > babies.

umm...apparently some of you people didn't read the part that it was his WIFE having the baby...this is not a female teacher who's 9 months pregnant and just now telling the class she's giving birth! DUH! OP: kind of sucks as a reaction to you being gone, but for most students, a sub means they think they'll have an easy day. I'm sure they were applauding just because they don't think they'll do anything the next day (although I hope that's not true! I'm studying to be a teacher right now so I hope I never start letting days I'm gone become free days!) # 46 (and any others)--Don't just assume he's a bad teacher because the kids are excited about a sub. This actually probably has absolutely no reflection on his effectiveness as a teacher.

A substitute teacher = free day It doesn't mean they applauded because they hate him and he's going to be gone, they applauded because they are essentially given a day where they don't have to do squat.
