I was given a chance to relief the Malay Language this friday. When I entered the 4N3 classroom, all the express and some 4NA students were reported to the classroom punctually.
A hanful of the 4NA students came while I was marking attendance. One of late-comers asked me:" Why are you so serious?" I answered," Thank you, don't you think I must be serious? I care. If any one of you missing during lesson time, I must send someone to go and look for you, right?" And he then kept quiet.
Relief is also an important duty in school, if not, the school will not arrange staff to do so. I belief, we have to do work seriously whether it is important or not.
I'll feedback to subject teacher who was absence on the day. I did this before. And I'll still keep on doing it.

I did the same thing too. First thing we settle in a relief class is to know how many pupils we have. If someone is missing, we need to know where the kid is. It is very important!! I even write their index no on the board when any of them go washroom. So as to keep track who is out.
Little thing to share and suggest to all... i ever did relief to small group, like Literature, in ITR. I brought them to the Library instead. Two reasons: 1. they can read books and they will not create so much noise compared to when they are in the classroom. 2. We can save electricity, i don't need to turn on lights and fans/ air con in other room just when i can use the existing one!
This only applies to small group. with a whole class...better stay in classroom.

You are right about the importance of relief periods. These are instructional time and pupils are expected to behave just like any other classes they attend.
If you are covering subjects which are in your area of content knowledge, teaching should continue so as not to waste precious curriculum time.
I thank you for yuour comments to my reflection. Let's work together to make students understand the importance of teacher doing relief duty. I just feedback to the subject teacher as well as the HOD who arranged for the duty to me.
