"In my experience, effective substitute teachers have been rare. If
you criticize me for stereotyping substitute teachers in my
introduction, know that they are all real people (names changed) who
have taught classes I take. When I complained to my parents about
substitute teachers, my dad commented defensively, "It's a thankless job
with low pay and short preparation time." This is completely true.
Substitute teachers are often called up on short notice, often with no
prior experience with the class, and have myriad responsibilities --
taking attendance, checking off assignments, starting projects -- thrown
at them. Teachers may leave incomplete or confusing lesson plans or
none at all.
In most cases (except for that sub who surfed the web instead of
doing anything), the substitute teacher's ineffectiveness is not from
lack of trying. Rather, it is the result of lack of experience with or
knowledge of the subject's curriculum. This is a problem that needs to
be addressed by education administrators."
