[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 470970, member: 11791"] I guess that depends... on the sub in question. The ratio here is about 1 exceptional, 2 really bad and 7 average, out of 10 - in general, talking to other parents. MY kids? get about 7 bad ones... out of 10. What do I mean by "bad"? subs that do NOT follow what they were left for notes and instructions. The results is... long term damage to BOTH kids. Some of these subs went on to be reasonably decent teachers. But ROTTEN subs. Know what I mean?? I begged the school to tell me if there was going to be a sub and we'd just keep them home... but they wouldn't work with us on that. (at least, not until we got a new principal... who turfed about half the subs from HER list... ) NOTE to KTMom... Here, they ARE allowed to tell the sub about every single special need in the classroom. But the principal would not pay for the extra half-hour of time for a sub to review the notes... they had to walk in COLD. So really, I guess its partly ADMINs fault. But even SIMPLE instructions... like "no dodge-ball for PE" (there were valid reasons)... what happens? dodge-ball for PE. THAT's the kind of stuff that toally steams me. I'm still dealing with the fall-out. [/QUOTE]
