[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]zero chance you will want to teach after subbing. sub plans are babysitting with no interaction or relationships with students.

A good sub who knows their subject won't just babysit, even if the notes effectively say that. As a sub they'll have the freedom to teach anything they want while subbing. They could teach beyond the curriculum if they perceive the kids can handle it, all without worrying about admin stuff or getting terminated.[/quote]

A sub should not be teaching things not in the sub plans. They don’t know the kids, the standards, etc. when subs don’t follow the plan, I never use them again and report them to the main office.[/quote]
Depends on the plans. If they don't involve teaching anything or are meaningless, a sub should be able to interact with the kids to the best of their abilities; you can't honestly just expect them to blindly follow your plan if there is nothing for them to do in the plan but sit at their desk while kids also sit around? You are right that bad subs will just idly sit there and likely be happy that they got off easy, while good subs will put some effort to come up with something good.[/quote]
