[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 74993, member: 3837"] We've asked the teacher to request the same sub each time. It doesn't mean you always have the same sub, but more often than not, you do. This is in our system in our SD, I'm not sure how other SDs work, but in ours, you can ask for someone specific. Besides this, we had the other grade level teachers step in when there was a sub and give the sub some pointers on working with our difficult child. My oldest and youngest have serious problems with subs so it was always hard to tell when one was "mean". Then my middle easy child and difficult child mentioned this one guy and said he was awful. After speaking with my other kids and their friends, I found he really was mean. Then a dad I know asked me about him and I asked him why and he told me his horor stories. We complained at the old school, but they kept using him. One day last year youngest difficult child through a huge fit on the way to art. His teacher didn't know what to do. She said there was a sub, but that all the kids loved the guy. Well, you guessed it, it was Mr. Meany sub man. I don't blame difficult child one bit for freaking out. It's hard enough with your regular teacher to transition from class to art, but add a sub and a MEAN sub, and it makes it 500 X worse. [/QUOTE]
