[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don’t they pull front office people to be subs? We were in a similar situation and when I went past the office there were at least 5 sitting there. Plus nurse, principal, asst principal and 2 counselors. [/quote]

Bingo![/quote]

A lot of people think counselors sit in their office all day long, but in fact, they are probably the busiest employees in the building. The counselors that I work with have students with them for the entire entirety of the day. In addition, the nurse is often helping students with medications, etc. I’ve seen the principal and the assistant principal substitute sometimes.[/quote]

Question do you think pulling the ESOL teachers to cover is the answer? Do you think they are not seeing kids all day?[/quote]

Yes I do think that is a good answer. It’s unequitable that ESL kids get 1:4 ratios while the other kids are divided up when a teacher is out and get 1:35+ ratios. ESL is the biggest joke ever. It takes years to master a language and frankly early elementary kids probably learn more of it in gen ed than in ESL class. I plan on getting my certification next year and enjoy the sweet low ratios. [/quote]
