[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, because all the teachers leave comprehensive 10 day plans (insert eye-roll)

In my kids schools (a MS and a HS, W Cluster - was the same when they were in ES), a sub is a day off with movies, games on chrome books, spending the class time on their phones, etc.   They are babysitters and nothing more[/quote]

Unless it’s a dire emergency, anyone who asks me to sub for even a day—let alone a week or two—better leave comprehensive plans or I’m declining further requests. Expecting one person to babysit 25+ kids for 7.5 hours with no structured activities leads to a very long day with lots of behaviors, even in the “good” schools.[/quote]

A lot of my colleagues leave educational games and videos because subs don’t bother to follow the comprehensive plans they spent hours creating before they take leave. If I take planned leave, I try to arrange it so that students are on day 2 or 3 of a multi-day assignment. That way, they already know what to do and just need adult supervision. Complicating things, my school limits chromebook use when there is a sub after a sub accidentally took a Chromebook home with him. As a result, only certain subs are allowed for lessons requiring Chromebooks. That makes it difficult to leave an engaging lesson if the sub isn’t capable of following directions or understanding the material.[/quote]
