[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a former fcps teacher. I would never long term sub as it is  not worth it it. Long term subs today are warm bodies who are incapable of teaching. Fcps gets what they pay for!

Funny, I would totally prefer being a long-term sub to an actual teacher because I could actually focus on teaching, without dealing with all of the BS trainings and paperwork.  Lower pay, but more control![/quote]

DP.  I was a long term sub, and unfortunately this is not the case at all (I thought it would be, which is why I accepted a long term position).  You are still expected to plan lessons, grade work, attend meetings and trainings, plan from home, and do report cards - all while being paid peanuts with zero benefits.  I realized very fast that this was not going to work for me, and I imagine many others come to that conclusion as well.[/quote]

Maybe in past years. This year, you can easily say no or ask how to submit hours worked outside of school time. Either way, you don't have to work for free and they arent in a position to fire you [/quote]

How exactly with the long-term sub say no to attending required trainings and completing report cards? If the long-term sub doesn’t do the report cards, who will?[/quote]

Hi Principal Smith, Between classroom instruction, covering other classes as instructed, and mandatory trainings, I have not yet been able to complete report cards. Speaking to teachers, it appears that the expectation is that work on these is done after school hours hours, but I wanted to run it by you before I did since I'm hourly and non-exempt and it will likely put me over 40 hours for this week. Please advise. [/quote]
