Or maybe when you spend your days helping the youth become educated, it is hard to have the energy to educate the elders. By the way, this state spend 7k per a pupil. The top education states spend well over 10k per a pupil. Of course those states pay twice the amount on property taxes, compared to the fraction that we pay.

At least a couple of hours each week, then you have the days teachers spend working on report cards and attending team meetings. I know of several East Cobb ES that do all of this during the student school day. I understand the money issue, but when you are top heavy and know that more cuts are coming then you should cut administration not teachers. Teachers should teach, how else are we ever going to improve. I'm tired of hearing the excuses that the cuts come from the state, education has taken the smallest % of cuts, the cost per student is higher than many states - start teaching, cut the central offices, and stop whining.

Most Subs are babysitters at most. There is always one student and his/her buddy that is going to try you. Grant it and they should try the spirit by the spirit. Our parents back in the day told us to respect the teacher and the preacher, but the system says anybody can do the job of the teacher and the preacher. I hope that you hope, to reap what you sow. The very things you but into your child, community and system are going to be the very things that control your/our tomorrow. I don't mean to sound preachy, but unless we take a hard look at what we put teachers and our education system up against, we can give up being concerned about a Sub-teacher and how much money we can save. We lose the battle without putting up a fight at the front of this matter. Money, money, money, money. MONEY thats what we live for, and it has wiped the real reason for living out of our plans. We have more single parnents because of MONEY or the lack of it. Let's put first things first and get back to the basic family mold. If we are to move forward with greatness, we must understand who we are. Let us LEARN that we will reap what we sow.

How many subs can teach calculus even with a plan? It's better to have teacher at teh same school cover for each other - for students. Of course, teachers don't really care what/if their students learn. At HS level, it makes no sense to bring in someone with little content preparation to sub for content area specialists.

Each deartment is responsible for getting the classes covered by giving up our planning periods. This amounts to "work for no pay"and makes long days even longer. What's more is not every teacher shows up to cover and there has been no consequence as of yet. This is so unfair. And with the void in leadership we are already experiencing at NHS I feel I am riding on a ship that is sinking fast. Our core of experienced teachers with 18 or more years at NHS are all planning on seeking emloyment elswhere precisely due to this lack of direction.
