By far, out of all the flaws in our education system, the supply teacher is the worst. These subs are usually completely oblivious to what we are currently learning and have poor English language skills with of course, some exceptions. But the chances of getting a "cool" substitute teacher are 1/27. There are two things that stand out in my stance against supply teachers and they are listed below.
1.Irrelevant Work.
Usually when supply teachers come, they give worksheets that we have already done or we watch a completely irrelevant film on a crappy-ass television. For instance, a few weeks ago, we were to be doing a test but instead the supply teacher spent 15 minutes looking for the tests, which just happened to be right in front of her. Some say that this is good and that we get to slack off but I beg to differ. We are spending our tax moneys paying complete crackpots like her.
2.Foreign Ethnicity
I probably will get my ass kicked for saying this but when supply teachers pronounce children as "chirun" and mispronounce half of our names, it is a major inconvenience. And not only that, when they are teaching, I just completely tune out on whatever they are saying. But the most ridiculous thing about this topic is that when they get angry, it is very hard to understand what they are telling you to do and the next thing you know, your teacher is pissed at you the next day.
A way to remedy this is by providing proper substitute teacher training, instead of rushing them out the door and making bad ones breed like rabbits. But like all bad things there are one or two good things and in this case, it is Mr. Hoffman and that other cool one whose name slips my mind.
