Post: Substitute Teachers need more respect from faculty
Posted by William on 8/24/08
First, I want to thank all of the great full-time teachers
for there great job education our children.
However, as a substitute for nearly 4 years, I do have
some notes.
I guess I was in the wrong school district but....
If full-time teachers want more substitutes to return to
their school, they need to stop acting so hot-headed
towards other substitute teachers. Because of what went on-
I won't teach full time or ever send my kids to the
school.
Secondly, before I explain what went on, I want to
elaborate on something. Substitute teachers do not know
all students as well. Substitute teachers do not know who
pulls tricks and who doesn't. Subsitute teachers do not
know as much about the general realm of the classroom or
school as regular teachers. I fully understand that.
Okay,that's why we are called substitutes.
However, it seemed that too many times in the district I
subbed for certain teachers loved to point out the minor
wrongs I was performed in my teaching in the class I was
subbing for. (Even in front of the students) If you want
us to come back and teach or send our kids to your school,
don't do this. Were not in rankings like guards in a
castle are, were here to teach kids education.
The school wants me back, but I'm not going to put up with
other full time teachers barging into my classrooms
telling me how to run things. Some teachers were great
but there were a few that just wanted to yell out for
hours.
That's why I've quit secondary education.
Has anyone ever been in the same boat?
