[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe speak to the grade level administrator— to ask if LT subs are provided with lesson plans, and how the school provides support to the students and to the sub when / if the lesson plans run out.

It's a subject where each year builds on previous. I would do this, but am afraid it might come across wrong. I would want it to be a way to get more support for the sub, but could backfire. If I knew the admin well I'd say something, but some admins instantly turn on the teacher and it is a nice person who the kids like and there is some teaching going on.[/quote]

Ok. Then would it make sense to speak directly with the sub and ask what sort of support from parents might be helpful — and might not be?

My thought is that it’s possible that there are other teachers who could share lesson plans, lesson plans from a previous year, or some way to get a bit of help for the teacher — and that a parent with suggestions might get more attention than a sub.  I appreciate your concerns though, and take them very seriously.  [/quote]

I only know elementary school teachers personally, but one I know well has a long term sub on her team, and yes, the full time teachers basically share lesson plans at the beginning. But at a certain point, the long term sub needs to respond to his/her own classroom.

Seeing the pay (which is actually a little more than I thought), I would consider taking long term sub jobs in my field (the arts) after I retire from my actual profession. I won't need benefits, and for a subject I know well, I think it might be fun to do. [/quote]

People who think teaching will be “something fun to do“ when they’re done with their “actual“ professions, have no idea what they’re talking about.[/quote]

Our school's two most reliable subs are both dads who got out after putting in their 20. One is planning on getting certification, but the other is just enjoying semi-retirement [/quote]

Got out if where? The military?[/quote]
