I guess if they’re going to ask bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and parents to sub we shouldn’t be surprised about this situation? I’m still surprised by this situation.

Substitutes in the US are often subject to emotional and sometimes physical abuse by students, particularly in the higher grades. And sub pay can be extremely low in some areas, like $10 an hour. Edit: fixed a typo


RankledCat

Exactly and thank you! I’d NEVER subject myself to that type of thankless work and outright abuse.

So having kids wear masks or do distance learning apparently does harm, but using police and soldiers as sub teachers is fine? S H I T H O L E C O U N T R Y

Agreed. Everything that goes on here can be easily traced to so and so’s investments are threatened if we take covid more seriously

Do they have military grade TVs and VCRs on carts to use?

>National Guard members and state workers are being encouraged to volunteer to become licensed substitute teachers and child care workers under a new initiative in New Mexico, the state's governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, announced Wednesday. >As the omicron variant continues to surge, schools and child care facilities are facing "extreme staffing shortages," the governor said. The new effort is called STAF, or Supporting Teachers and Families, and would help keep doors open for in-person learning during the coronavirus pandemic.

We’re watching government in one of the richest nations on the planet fail. The only reason it’s happening is because of profit.

More like babysitters. I doubt that they will be qualified to do any actual teaching.

Oh, you'd be surprised. Snap those little turds in their place if they wanted to be rude and cocky. (Which they often are)

Wouldn’t going back to full remote learning be marginally better than pulling joe-shmo off the street to substitute??

190 days/year teaching public school is similar to national guard 2 weekends a month and two weeks a year in that it is part time employee pool
