However, when I returned the next day, none of the work was completed and students told me they watched a movie. How can I ensure this doesn't happen again? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Make sure the school knows who the substitute was and they can take steps to make sure that sub does not come back to the school. Also, inform the company that provides the substitutes that the employee did not follow the lessons left for them by the teacher.
