When students walk into a classroom and see a substitute teacher in their teacher’s place, they may feel relief and excitement, or disappointment. In this short episode of The Buzz, we talk with students and substitute teachers to get a better understanding of what classrooms are like when the teacher is out.

Thanks for listening to The Buzz. This episode was produced and edited by Miriam Reichenberg. Additional interviews were conducted by Sydney Taylor with help from Zazie Duchene.
