Condolences Gone Wrong
This substitute teacher made a very tasteless mistake. They were subbing at a middle school where one of the students had passed away from cancer the day before. School administrators announced the student’s passing on the morning announcements, so everyone knew about it. He gave his class five minutes to sit and reflect in silence after the announcement.
His day backfired when he called attendance. One of his substitute teacher bits is to call each student’s name in a comical voice. He got to a student named Tyler, who didn’t respond when his name was called. This teacher kept calling Tyler’s name in different voices until one of the students told him Tyler was the kid that had passed away the day before. This was an honest mistake but pretty tactless and embarrassing.
