[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious as to how many schools are still seeing long-term subs versus a permanent teacher. Do you have any classes where it's a long-term sub instead of a teacher?[/quote]

How is a student’s education affected by LT sub vs teacher?

[/quote]

My ES child had one two years in a row, she's a year behind in both reading and math.[/quote] This is education under false pretense if this LT sub doesn’t have the qualification and experience equivalent to a teacher.[/quote]

That is a term you made up. Unfortunately, this is fully legal. There’s nothing you can do about it- you can compulsorily force people to be teachers. If a long term sub is all they can, it’s all they can get. There are not applicants for teaching jobs anymore. At my school we lost 9 people in EL and on the first day of school we still had 7 of those openings. It isn’t because the school is picky. Literally nobody applies. [/quote] Is child neglect by “educators” a better phrase?

If these unqualified LT subs are mostly in the classrooms of EL or SPED or Non-White students, it is unlawful discrimination. https://www.justice.gov/crt/types-educational-opportunities-discrimination

If FCPS doesn’t already have fed complaints about this, they will once parents realize their children aren’t learning like the students with qualified teachers.

You are still just crafting a made up narrative. Now, for no reason, you believe subs are only in self contained rooms and majority non-white classes? That’s ludicrous and inaccurate - the teacher can be out long term in any class for a variety of reasons. If there isn’t a licensed teacher  willing or available to fill that  role OR it’s for a finite duration and not a year long contract, the district has fulfilled its obligation by putting a long term sub in there. We can agree it’s likely not as quality of an education as an actual teacher, but also some actual teachers aren’t great, and you don’t necessarily get high quality education out of every class. That doesn’t mean there is educational malpractice or whatever term you created . [/quote]

FCPS meets their obligation to educate a student when they regularly place qualified Educators in their classroom or they pay to educate the student elsewhere.

Fed OCR investigation found that FCPS violated federal law for remote learning students and have paid out $5.5 million so far to correct their educational malpractice and child neglect. https://wjla.com/renderer/wjla/amp/news/crisis-in-the-classrooms/fairfax-county-public-schools-fcps-special-education-students-services-missed-during-pandemic-superintendent-dr-michelle-reid-compensatory-process

When FCPS publishes all their data on the class of students that experience an unqualified sub vs qualified teacher every day, then we can debate more. Meanwhile, we can use your school with the 7 missing EL teachers as an example of the discrimination taking place.[/quote]

It is not discrimination to not have enough teachers because nobody applies. It sucks and is awful but it doesn’t mean the school is discriminating against students. You are wildly misapplying case law here. [/quote]
