[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5th grader has a long term sub for both art and music. My 8th grader has a long term sub for his language class. [/quote]

I don’t know what it is with specialists in elementary but our school has had them out or quit over the last few years. [/quote]

I'll tell you some of the reasons my friend gave me for quitting mid-year from an elementary music position. She was at multiple schools (3 throughout each week). That means dealing with 3 different admin/discipline approaches. Specials teachers see the kids for such a short amount of time each week that it can take longer to build relationships and create consistent classroom discipline. Often the IEP kids that have aides all day in their classroom don't have an aide come with the specials. So you're on your own to control a classroom of kids who are away from their "real teacher". And you have to create appropriate content for 7 different grade levels of students. It's a lot. [/quote]

THIS!! And the behaviors these days are ridiculous.[/quote]
