Interesting, a few years ago MCPS were requiring subs to have a valid Maryland teaching certificate because they supposedly had such a "robust" pool of available substitutes. I guess things have changed. I'm also curious why this incompetent substitute is still called to sub. I've heard that teacher's can call any substitute they want (from the list) and if this one is so bad, why don't people stop calling them to come into the class? I'm sure the principal can put an end to this if they want to. I've definitely heard of subs not allowed to work in certain schools because they teachers and principal didn't want them there. From the posts, it sounds like no one has any ability to control this situation. [/quote]

For many planned absences, teachers do select subs. But sometimes your child is vomiting at 2 am or your car dies at 7:30 am so you request a sub through the automated system and pray someone shows up. Mostly those are the duds who no one requests.[/quote]
