And how were YOU treated when you were pregnant, pray?

Instead of wording your post: "For those of you who know the system, is there any way to influence a long-term substitute selection?"

No, you chose to dump on the teacher.[/quote]

I'm not sure what post you read, but the one I read only said this about the teacher, "Teacher is fantastic, DC LOVES teacher". If that is considered dumping on the teacher, you guys can dump on me anytime.

Folks, the OP has a legitimate concern. There is probably nothing she can do about it, but no need to attack her.

Usually I agree with you, Jeff. However, you've never been pregnant and experienced a less than welcoming workplace :-)
Women on DCUM are particularly attuned to that - we are sensing resentment from OP that the teacher should have the gall to remove herself and abandon her student. Apparently the teacher is only loved when she's useful to her.
For the substitute question, I agree with OP that usually they're incompetent. There is no hope of parental influence there. OP could just have focused on THAT question.[/quote]

I can understand your feeling that the OP should have focused her question differently. But, I don't agree that justifies turning the thread into an attack on her. If you don't like how the OP phrased her post and don't feel that you can provide a helpful response, just move along. Seriously, it's not that hard.

OK, Jeff, I'm not stubborn :-)[/quote]
