Synopsis
20something Dave in Portland spent 4 years substitute teaching. Fortunately for the rest of us, he kept a journal of his travails...and here it is. 'Personal' writing at its finest and most poignant. "I brought this zine to work and couldn't stop laughing as I read it during lunch. I gave an issue to a co-worker, and soon he was cracking up, too, much to the probable consternation of the others at our table. Each issue is a journal of one semester's worth of days working at a variety of schools ranging from preschools to colleges. As you can imagine, there's alot to tell, and David manages to make it both hilarious and sad, without being disrespectful." - Newpages "If you've ever wondered what goes on in this environment, read this. Taking teenagers to the bathroom, dealing with a screaming autistic boy, and doing art projects for students who are asleep in their wheelchairs are all in a day's work. On Subbing gives a vivid picture of an educational setting most of us know little about, and it's quite sobering." - Xerography Debt

Review
"It isn't easy to write about day-to-day life in schools, but Roche has really nailed it in this zine collection." —The Oregonian
"I wish his students knew how cool Dave is. His writing is witty and sarcastic, but still kind of sensitive." —Clamor Magazine
"Awesome! Really funny, cute and often touching stories by a substitute teaching assistant. The writing is honest, earnest, and frickin funny. You get cute little drawings by the author's friends and lots of entertainment." —Broken Pencil
"[Dave's] writing style is akin to David Sedaris, and he masterfully balances his story so that it is not only heartbreaking and bittersweet but quite often hilarious." —Profane Existence
