[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, first of all, you were supposed to sub for a teacher or aid, and neither one ever has actual cleaning duty in the cafeteria.  Crowd control yes, cleaning no.  So you did not need to agree to that part, and they were way over the line even asking you to do it.  Second, other than the cleaning, substitutes take the place of teachers, and teachers often do get asked to run around to different places and do extra duties like cafeteria duty (with NO cleaning, though).  So you shouldn't complain about that, as plenty of teachers have to do the same (specialists get pulled all the time to do this and that around the school).  [/quote]

In an elementary school? I taught for 30 years (now subbing) and I never had to cover another class (I had my own) and I never had lunch duty. [/quote]

Things have changed drastically since Covid. When I first started teaching we rarely had a teacher out without a sub. Now it is a daily occurrence with usually more than one teacher out, [b]paras out (who cannot even get subs anymore)[/b]. [/quote]

Because para assistant subs are paid less than teacher subs. Teacher subs are also paid a minimum amount (half day, full day), and para/assistant subs are paid to the exact time. At a lower hourly rate. Of course no one accepts those sub jobs, when there are plenty of other to choose from. I think it's a crap policy that most districts have.
