[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP Here: I really appreciate the perspective. I'm inclined to cut the substitute some slack and trust that a few months of less-than-optimal instruction won't kill DD. If her teacher decides not to return from leave in late November, then I will pursue my concerns with the substitute, and if I get no response, the principal. I think I just needed permission to relax a little. DD likes her substitute personally, and I do too. I'm just not sure a lot of learning is happening. Sigh.[/quote]

Your response seems a bit irrational. I get that you want to receive more feedback on your SO. But- you suggest that your child is getting "less-than-optimal" instruction based on what? Are you assuming she/he is not as qualified because they are a long-term sub or is it that your child doesn't bring home graded homework? Neither make sense.

Different teaching styles, grading styles, ect. but as far as I know, MCPS requires certified teachers in subs and they obviously have a bit of freedom in how they instruct, being that they are not the permanent teacher, right? Cut them some slack. Your child will survive and do just fine. Kids are flexible like that.[/quote]
