Everyone should be a substitute teacher for a day. You will end the day with a massive headache.
I subbed for two months through an agency. Being a sub is not even close to the same as being a teacher. As a sub, you generally expect the kids to be on their WORST behavior, because they know you're not authorized to do anything about it. A substitute is generally considered a babysitter who - if they're lucky, get an actual lesson plan for the day or week, which the kids won't follow anyway.
