Anyone else being used as a building sub? My school cut my classes in half and are making me cover classes on my free periods. Academic teachers don't have to cover classes.

I would be more than a little upset. We use other teachers when possible, voluntarily during free period to cover. Our school also decided to hire full time and long term subs, they report everyday.

If we run out of subs the specialists and interventionists cover it. I’m sorry, it just doesn’t feel fair. Helping out is one thing but hey, can you teach some art while you’re subbing?

Right?! It's to the point where the 7th graders (i only teach 8th grade this year) think I'm a building sub.

Old thread but school starts in a month and sincerely hoping this situation has changed.

Visual art as a subject tends to be less understood and has lower "value" than music or P.E. in administrators' and parents' minds. It's the first to be cut. I refused to get a Masters in another area because I know I would have been pulled half time from art. The students lose out!

My only suggestion is to take what you can from it. You can pick up some strategies, maybe some discipline ideas from being in other classrooms. Make curriculum connections. Hope for a better next year.

Yep, happens about once or twice a week to me.

Well good news, not sure how many subs our on our list yet but they upped the pay big time! Hopefully no subbing for me this year!

We have a contract that will now allow that to happen.

I’ve long disliked the term ethics. Definitions of ethics all refer to morals. Morals are very personal and vary a lot from person to person, culture to culture. Law is how we as a society express our preferences and impose rules and restrictions on ourselves. So the question should never be about whether companies can be ethical. What does that mean? One person thinks eating meat is unethical, another thinks it’s perfectly ethical. Companies should focus on complying with the law.
