Not sure. I'll have to check with some of my German friends.<br /><br />What <i>does</i> that say about subbing? That subs should get tips? ; jAvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808959359850145003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-65406592307886234722010-12-23T03:13:56.283-08:002010-12-23T03:13:56.283-08:00@ Alesa, did you raise your hands in the air to sn...@ Alesa, did you raise your hands in the air to snap? How did the teacher know who to call on? <br /><br />Sometimes during presentations, if teachers think students will be too loud during presentations, we have them snap instead of clap. Definitely less obtrusive.<br /><br />Subbing and waiting on tables - apt comparison. Sadly, the Woody Allen film, he asked a woman why she became a prostitute. She replied something like, "Beats waiting on tables." <br /><br />He responded (not word for word), "Waitressing must be the worst job on the planet."<br /><br />What does that say about subbing?Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-24505046104919916252010-12-22T04:28:40.493-08:002010-12-22T04:28:40.493-08:00Huh, I guess I'm in full on Proust mode.

We always carried a mini first aid kit, a pack of matches, and paper hankies- and rich snobby customers behave like spoilt children. ; j<br /><br />I dig the hand on the arm system, sounds nice and quiet. It reminds me of a German High-school I went to during an exchange program: instead of raising their hands, they clicked their fingers. It may sound annoying, but it was actually rather unobtrusive.Avohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808959359850145003noreply@blogger.com
