[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know the issue with subs? Are they just not paying enough? Is there a backup with HR screening potential employees?[/quote]

Subs are mainly older people. They feel unsafe in the schools. It started because of Covid, but is now a violence issue for some. Getting knocked over because students are brawling is bad at 22-55, but you won’t break a hip. The average age of subs in our building was 68. A school that I subbed in had a 90 year old sub who wanted to work every day.

Younger people who don’t want to break into teaching usually don’t sub. [/quote]

+1 Subs are generally individuals who are retired/close to retirement.  It absolutely is unsafe for them in a secondary classroom today.  [/quote]

We need cameras in every classroom but covid is just one issue.  Pay, stability, benefits, staff at the school and students are probably the primary issues.  The behavior is really poor.  Our principal is completely relaxed and flexible with rules so we can see why the kids behave like they do.[/quote]
