[quote=Anonymous]We lived overseas for many years, and my kids attended either DOD schools or private schools, depending on where we were stationed, so my experience with FCPS elementary schools is limited to late elementary school for the two youngest. However, I have had over twelve years of experience with FCPS middle schools and high schools.

None of my kids have ever mentioned watching a movie when they have a sub, nor have they ever mentioned watching a movie [u]at all[/u] that is not something like a short clip related to a topic of history they're studying, a video of how mitosis occurs, or a short video clip of a piece of Shakespeare they're reading. Movies for entertainment have never been part of my kids' education, at least not in middle and high school.

Additionally, it seems like most of my kids' teachers leave sub plans with substantial content, and the subs they use are frequently retired teachers, so lessons still occur even when the teachers are absent.

Maybe this issue with poor sub plans is a bigger issue in elementary school, but as I said, my experience with elementary school is quite limited.[/quote]
