Jon was awakened by an early phone call one bone-chilling morning. The local school needed a substitute teacher for one of the more challenging classroom situations. Jon, who anxiously awaited a teaching contract as soon as a job opened up, scurried to the local school. As he entered into the classroom, he was verbally mocked as all substitute teachers were in that school system. The students immediately tried to push the boundaries to see what they could get away with, in terms of discipline, not doing schoolwork, and trying to identify those emotional buttons that elicit hurt feelings.
