Not second class so much …. but afterthoughts.
Substitute teachers. And for the most part we’re OK with that. We’re appreciated for what we do, but it’s surprising when we DON’T get thought of. The example that prompted the post: lunch. I’m always invited to the lounge or the classroom where everyone in “my department” is dining but I always feel out of place. And during da ‘Rona there are schools that won’t serve me lunch. Oh, they HAVE lunch – but because money was SO clean in the Before Times and is deadly now, they won’t handle it! I know which schools are which and can now plan accordingly, but it made for a few sketchy days back in August. And it’s a school policy. The lunch room staff is almost ALWAYS awesome to us subs.

unrelated but my favorite headline of the week: Evil Fascist Dictator Censored And Voted Out Of Office
