Vice Principal UnOfficed host Lisa Hill recalls some very memorable substitute teachers and the quirkiness they brought to the classroom. From puking to magic shows, there are some substitute teachers who seem to be able to do it all except for the one thing they were actually hired to do, which is teach. And while most school days went just fine with the classroom teacher absent for the day, every kid in the class knew which substitute teacher probably shouldn't be invited back.There's still time to vote for Vice Principal UnOfficed host Lisa Hill as the best comedy podcaster for the Women Podcasters Awards.
