[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 212511, member: 4040"] I don't know the policies for other districts, but...subs are not told if a child has an IEP in place. Subs are not told if a child needs to be reminded to go and take his medications. Subs are not told about anything under the mental health category. BUT we know all about the kid with diabetes, and the peanut allergies, and the hemophiliac. Why is physical health considered to be more important that mental health? Subbing for 12 years gives me an advantage; at my favorite schools, they give me a heads-up about the issues I might encounter during the day. The most useless note I ever got from a teacher was "L is [U]special![U][/U][/U] Yeah, thanks so much. What exactly do you mean by that? Does she run out of the classroom? Spin in circles and upend desks? Steal lunch boxes and eat the lunches? Hide under the reading table? Poop his pants when he gets angry? Stand in the middle of the classroom and scream? Yes, I'm speaking from personal experience here. In order to best serve the child, the sub needs to know what the teacher knows. [/QUOTE]
