[/quote]its still the teachers fault. When the teacher is pulled away they often know in advance and have a sub who they can give instructions.  And if that isn’t enough they should be able to ask the administration for help instead of just neglecting the educational experience of the students because they are overwhelmed for what ever reason [/quote]
Are you familiar with the current educational system? Many subs can barely teach, and they don't have access to laptops to project notes, videos, etc. A sub can't execute semi-complex lessons or science labs. Good subs get picked up for long-term jobs, not the meeting fill-ins.  And how is Admin supposed to change that?  They can't screen substitutes, and there is not enough money to pay for qualified subs. This has been the case for years.[/quote]whats wrong with having a teacher who floats around that can do these things mentioned.  The county has resources and money to provide what is necessary [/quote]

If I had to guess, it's because teachers are paid based on their years of experience (or years at FCPS). If they pay a teacher to float around only "working" a couple hours a day, they would have to receive the same pay as a teacher that works 8 hours a day, plans, grades, etc.  I'm not sure the county can justify that and it could lead to resentment among teachers. I'm no expert - just a guess.[/quote] fcps has plenty of money.  Far more than schools in most districts to work with.  If you are a teacher, have some backbone and complain about how the budget is managed[/quote]
