Substitute teachers
We have 15 days remaining in the school year. Everyone is checked out and everyone’s using their “sick” days.
We have a teacher that follows every rule. She brags about being close to finishing both the ELA and math curriculum, despite the fact her test scores are consistently the lowest, but hey, she finished on time. She was out the other day and complained to everyone that the sub didn’t follow her plans and she was very upset and was going to the SIP (school improvement plan) meeting to complain and not have that sub return. Her kids were fine that day. Nothing atypical of a sub taking a class.
What’s everyone’s view on subs, especially at the end of the year? I’m of the viewpoint that as long as everyone goes home in one piece that’s a W. I’m just grateful that I have someone willing to take my class so I can have a day off.
