[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher went down with a long-term medical issue. School is sending random teachers and subs to cover, no long-term sub.

Covering teacher/sub shows a video and then lets the kids free play games or whatever they want on their Chromeboooks.

This is normal.  They wouldn't replace a teacher out on medical leave and they'd use a sub.  We had many subs over 6 months.  It was terrible. The returning teacher was even worse than some of the subs.[/quote]

The returning teacher had a medical issue serious enough to miss 6 months of work. It’s likely that they were not ready to return FT when they came back, but MCPS doesn’t allow teachers on long-term medical leave to return PT. She probably returned with unresolved symptoms or with side effects from treatments and walked into a classroom that had a rolling cast of subs for half the year. Pretty much any teacher would struggle with that. Add on student behavioral issues and academic apathy rising in the spring, and you can see how the teacher was likely set up to fail by a sick leave policy that wouldn’t be in place in another profession or most school systems.[/quote]
