[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think everyone here is over estimating the caliber of current subs. My child had a long term sub last semester that spoke little English. At first I thought my second grader was just complaining since she adored her teacher who went on a health related leave. However, after speaking with the teacher several times and receiving class emails from her that are difficult to read (looks like it was done through google translate) it appears to be a significant issue. Even if she checked all the boxes and is good at controlling a class, teaching 7 and 8 year olds to read in a language she struggles with herself is less than ideal.[/quote]

As a teacher, I wish to God all of you who are discouraging this parent’s efforts and ideas at creating a wider pool of substitutes (ones who write well and who have had children and are part of the community!) to SHUT THE HAKES UP!

I don’t care about the gossip crap or whether or not Mrs. Jones actually finished all four years at JMU.  If she is a responsible person, familiar with children, articulate, and is a stakeholder in the community, she should at the very least get an interview.

This talk about educational  “qualifications” makes me laugh.  Are you kidding me?  You all have not met many FCPS subs.[/quote]

Many, many parents (working or not) do not want fellow parents (no matter how qualified) in the school, and go to great lengths to try to keep them out.

They simply do not want anyone to glean any knowledge about their "sweet little Johnny" who has a penchant for throwing chairs across the room at least twice a day.

I have seen it, and it really is that simple, sadly.
