[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had a series of subs for all of 4th grade because the principal was "saving" the job for a teacher who was out for several years. This was also in AAP. All the kids in that class were substantially behind when they started 5th grade compared to the 4th graders in the other AAP classrooms.

Kids don't learn from substitutes. [/quote]

Oh but don’t you know? The issue is lack of quality subs. I don’t know understand why everyone is putting this on the subs. A long term sub can teach well but having a new sub come in once or twice a week is pointless. The students don’t learn anything and the sub doesn’t know what’s going on. A sub came into my child’s class and couldn’t access the computer so they all had to just do review worksheets the entire day which they had already competed two months prior. The  education provided to the AAP students doesn’t matter. What matters is the poor teacher who is struggling because she is after all human. Everyone has conveniently ignored the fact that there is no new material being covered in her child’s class and it’s an upper elementary class. It’s not Kindergarten where a teacher not showing up is not that crucial. [/quote]
