Substitutes unqualified for full takeover
Letters to the Editor

What is the deal with substitute teachers?

My child has had one since November, and, while I think it's fine for a substitute to fill in, do people realize they are not qualified, certified teachers and have no business taking over classes indefinitely?

I wonder if people know what they need to do to become substitutes: basically nothing. They have a background check and take a group multiple-question quiz. They need no degree of any sort and get paid minimum wage. I do not think you can fail if you would like to become a sub, other than that one could be a blooming idiot, which would be fine if he were doing what he was intended to do.

But that is not the case; they are taking over classes. If subs were supposed to be teaching classes, we would not need certified teachers, would we?
