Admit it, back in the good old secondary school days, whenever you hear the announcement that a certain teacher is not around for the day, you immediately start prancing around in joy because that mean an entire period of fun and laughter. Having a relief teacher is basically a dream come true for most students. We’ll tell you why below.

You can be rude to them and actually get away with it
Well, because you know they will never actually complain to your parents nor will they be there during any parents-teachers meeting.

You know that they will never actually scold you.
elief teachers are usually more lenient and as long as you don’t bother them, they won’t bother you.

They are usually more fun and less strict
elief teachers tend to be able to joke around with the students more. I mean, there’s a reason why we love them. They understand our pain of studying and will usually input their opinions of the outside world that are super interesting (at that point in time).

It’s basically an entire lesson of goofing around
After all, they are not the ones grading your exam papers so it doesn’t really matter if they get mad at you. You can walk around the class as though you own it, go to the toilet whenever you want to and sneak into other people’s classroom.

You don’t actually have to finish the work there and then
Yes, because even when your teacher is sick, he/she will never allow you to have an entire lesson doing absolutely nothing. Most of the time, there’ll be worksheets to be completed. But, since he/she can’t be there to physically collect the worksheets, it won’t hurt to hold it off till the next day.

If you’ve not completed other lesson’s work, now’s the perfect time to do it.
Ah, I remember the days where I would be rushing my next period’s homework during relief period. Why? I never have my homework done. So having a relief period always saves me from getting detention. Or if I’m having the relief period during the last hour of the day, it’s all about completing every work given so I can spend the rest of the afternoon feeling as free as a bird.

You can chat throughout the entire period with your friends
It’s the only time where you can join tables with your friends, run around the class jumping from table to table, and have fun chatting with literally everyone in class.

We can sleep

I mean, it’s a total win-win situation. The relief teacher will have one less student to deal with. And you’ll be wide-awake to survive your next lesson.

We can eat in class
Raise a hand if you’re guilty of sneaking food in class. I am, for sure. And most relief teachers won’t really mind you eating in class as long as you clean up once you’re done and leave no evidence behind.

They are young and good looking
Let’s be real, relief teachers tend to be younger and as childish, naïve students, we tend to fangirl/fanboy over most relief teachers. Mainly because they are closest to our age and we spend most of the time in school listening to adults talking that sometimes, it’s nice to have some young blood around.
