A reference doesn't tell you anything about the quality of the candidate. Hold a Sub day and meet the candidates in person. Put out a call to anyone in the community willing to help. Remember, last year absolutely anyone who could breathe was recruited this way to sit in classrooms while teachers worked from home. Do this again for subs. Maybe FCPS doesn't want Subs so they can have a reason to close again. [/quote]

I don’t disagree that references aren’t necessarily useful, but everyone is acting like this is some shocking, stringent requirement. It’s been required for every job I’ve ever held (excepting my first one scooping ice cream).

Were your previous jobs actively recruiting stay at home parents? [/quote]

Why do you think SAHPs should be exempt from basic requirements just because they are being recruited? Presumably, they worked at some point and can get a reference from a previous employer. If they haven't worked and can't get that letter, they may not be a good fit. You all seem to believe that the act of parenting and staying home is enough to qualify you. I know several SAHMs who are or have subbed over the years. Somehow, they managed to pull the necessary s%t together to get the job. [/quote]

But…but…PPs are screaming that they’re automatically qualified because they’ve “had children” (oh good, their plumbing works) and are pArT oF tHe cOmMuNiTy.[/quote]
