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!) Some solutions could be creating a checklist for the sun to complete, asking a responsible student to be your “secret spy” and report back when you return with any notes, and read notes from previous teachers before selecting a sub if possible.
