[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here.

You're lucky if you can find a week-long sub, let alone one that'll do an assignment for months. They get paid very little and put up with worse behavior because they're not "the real teacher."[b] I wouldn't suggest speaking to anyone about it, because there isn't anything anyone can do.[/b] I sympathize. My fourth grader's teacher has been out for the last three months. She's struggling, but luckily I recognized it and started supplementing at home.[/quote]

I respectfully disagree. OP should talk to the principal and ask whether they've approached the School Board about the need for more qualified subs who receive better pay. My kid's school sends out a monthly newsletter and is always asking people to sign up to sub; fair enough, but most qualified people want to get paid more than $14.50 per hour, or $20 per hour if it's long term. The PTA could also send in a letter to the School Board; I know at least one did that last year. Finally, OP should be going to the SB directly, or at least their local representative. This is one of those issues that has a decent chance of improving if enough people voice concerns...but so far that hasn't happened.[/quote]

I don't think that's what the PP means. She wants something to change with her child's current sub. That's not going to happen.[/quote]
