I retired as a principal at Yonkers Public Schools on 10/07/15- my 55th birthday. My plan was to sub as a teacher in NYC. I worked 22 days in 18 schools and ran across a wrong-headed co-teacher. In the end I wrote her a critical e-mail- no libel. That night I got cancellations with no notice. The next day I was informed that I was suspended. Today is Day six with the promise of a e-mail from subcentral announcing a appointment with the director. I cant wait for my chance to represent myself. Lesson learned- no e-mails whatsoever!

At times, I have been ridiculed in this board for posting about exclusions and reports against substitutes, and for being negative. I was told that if I did not like subbing, to get out of it. But all these comments that have been directed at me d...See More

Ze Povinho crash course part IV Here are yet more responses from subs from other forums regarding that grotesque game that school districts like to play with subs-the one about bait and switch (i.e. preaching the American ideals of truth, fairness, justice, and all that; yet constantly acting like military dictators when it comes to subs). Before I continue, I do thank you for yo...See More
