This one might rile up the ‘Good Schools’ crowd a little. (King: babysitters, title)

My wife and I saw this on the news the other night and just laughed.

Much ado about nothin'.

Don't care...they're babysitters, always have been. As long as they pass a background check I'm good.

Doesn't rile me up at all. I come from a state where subs had to be certified and honestly some of the ones I had as a kid should have been in jail, and probably would be now, for child abuse. I don't expect my kid to learn much of anything on a "guest teacher" day.

Some teachers who know they are going to be out are using flip grid to record their lesson, all the sub has to do it play it and make sure no one gets hurt. 21st century version of typing up sub plans.

Long term subs that we've had have been certified teachers. In fact, in many of the "better" schools the subs are certified teachers who are SAHMs that want to keep a foot in the door for when their kids are older. I have a lot of friends who are actually teachers who sub (or subbed, and are now back teaching). We've also had subs that are teachers in YR schools who sub on their track out.

I’m not mad, but it definitely explains this.

Maybe they should screen them more carefully for mental issues.

If they can press play on a dvd of Lion King en Español, they are qualified.

Substitutes are basically baby sitters, so what's more important is they have background checks to make certain Wake County isn't putting criminals in the classrooms. Otherwise it doesn't matter. When I was kid, we were awful to subs...

I don't understand what you mean by the title of your post.

I don’t expect anything educational to happen on a sub day but if it’s a long term sub who didn’t have credentials I’d be concerned. Hopefully wake county only uses credentialed subs for that type of scenario (or maternity leave, etc) and saves the others for “babysitting” days.
