  Case: Rebel Substitute Teacher
The teacher leave sub plans for the teaching to follow but he decides to do what he thought was best and lectured students. What should the teacher do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
When you are unhappy with how your substitute teacher preformed, it is important to speak to the person who handles the hiring or setting up of subs and let them know what happened. You can't change the past, but you can always re-direct your kids. The information will hopefully be passed onto the sub so that they improve their duties for the future or the administration can chose not to use them.

Comments: I agree that you should speak with the individual from your school that is charge of selecting and placing substitutes and inform them on the situation that had occurred. If needed the substitute should be notified that their actions were not acceptable and that they are there to follow the teachers lesson plans and activities as directed. If the substitute did this once he has either done it before or will do it again.

Comments: This is a fantastic way to respectfully handle a tough situation. Though sometimes necessary, it is difficult to spend time away from your students because you can only be responsible for the material that you leave for the substitute and not for their time with your students. I would absolutely implement this solution should I ever be unhappy with a substitute teacher's time with my students, to ensure that they are still adequately supported and stay on track while I am away.
