[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happens quite a bit.  We have had two long-term subs with my son's classes.

One was terrible.  One was not too bad.

[b]Interestingly, we have learned that the subs do NOT have to have any sort of training in education.  One of our subs had zero teaching experience (other than being a sub for MCPS).[/b]  He had a degree in something totally different.

But, not much you can do.  Lots of teachers are females.  They have babies![/quote]

Not really. Since three years ago MCPS requires that subs be certified teachers. Some uncertified subs were grandfathered in, but for the most part the subs are all certified. Unfortunately that means there are very few subs and the ones we have are mostly retired teachers who are less then eager to teach.[/quote]

Is that really true?  We absolutely had a sub last year with zero teaching experience.    Though he was middle-aged, so maybe he was grandfathered in?

And is that true for all subs or only long term subs?[/quote]

I thought that only [b]long-term subs[/b] need to be certified.  They come up with lesson plans and grade.  [b]Short-term subs[/b] just need a bachelors degree and a very short orientation.[/quote]
