[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found the website and all the technology intimidating to navigate to even try to apply. There was nobody to speak to who could help me. I gave up.[/quote]

If the online application was too difficult, then subbing isn’t for you. [/quote]

There were literally no directions on what to do after you upload your documents. [/quote]

NP here but I have to agree. 
[b]Subs are not handed anything[/b]; you have to work for this role. If you are not curious and eager enough to get through the application process, then you will not succeed at the difficult task of leading and guiding a class of students whose regular classroom teacher is out for the day. [/quote]

What are you talking about? They are given sub plans. Leading and guiding a class has nothing to do with the crazy hoops you have to jump through to sub.[/quote]

[b]NP, sub plans are often anything from a post-it note to 4-page plans.[/b] Often times, not enough work is left for the time duration or the physical assignment is not on the desk or in Schoology. There are often gaps.[/quote]

Bull. Not in elementary school. Teachers are required to have emergency plans written that anyone can follow. But usually, when they are out, even when sick, they take the time to write detailed sub plans. Plans can be emailed to teammates who print them out for the sub. Teachers notoriously overplan.

[b]What usually happens is the sub has no clue about time management and actually can’t finish the lesson in the designated time. [/b]

Ask me know I know.[/quote]

Huh.  Sounds exactly like several teachers my kids have had.  But nice bashing of subs.   :roll: [/quote]

No bashing of subs intended. But saying someone who may have trouble doing the online application for subbing could not actually be a good sub isn’t bashing? Huh.[/quote]

This is what was said:
"What usually happens is the sub has no clue about time management and actually can’t finish the lesson in the designated time."  Please stop gaslighting.[/quote]

Saying someone who isn’t a teacher doesn’t have a clue about one particular facet of teaching isn’t really bashing them. I wouldn’t expect subs to know about time management since they don’t have the experience. That’s not gaslighting either. Lol. [/quote]

Time management exists in all aspects of life, not just teaching. [/quote]
