They pay you, right? If they sent you home, would they still pay you? For having showed up in the morning, paid for childcare and cleared your day?

I scrubbed tables, swept, cleaned up, wipes noses, when I volunteered for the PTA (when you organize entire events, sometimes you have to do that). I have two graduate degrees. No work is demeaning.

I think part of the work of a sub is to be placed where the need is, but maybe I'm not fully understanding the situation.

Not okay at all.  I’m a teacher and if nothing else you should understand this - [b]I would wear different clothes if I’m teaching a class vs scrubbing cafeteria tables and cleaning messes all day. [/b] It’s different if you are volunteering and willing to do whatever to make the event happen.  That’s not the case when you are hired for a job. [/quote]

Yes, this!!  I'm OP and if I had signed up for an art class - or cafeteria duty - I would have dressed accordingly.  Not that I was dressed up, but I would definitely have worn some older clothes that I didn't care about had I known I'd be wiping up ketchup, cutting open GoGurts, sweeping, mopping, washing tables.

I think what it comes down to is that it's disrespectful to any sub who has committed to a specific slot but is then plugged in elsewhere.  And anyone working *any* job would feel the same way if they were given a completely different assignment upon arrival, with no warning.  If it happens again, I'm hoping I'll have the nerve to (politely) say no to any alternative job they want to spring on me, and just leave.[/quote]
