183231bcb<p><span>The system of substitute teaching in universities is broken. <br><br>The current system is</span></p><blockquote><span>Professor A: I'm sick so I can't come in today. Let me ask my colleagues if anyone would like to volunteer to sub for me.<br>Professor B: I can cover your class.<br>Professor A: Thanks! Let me know how I can pay you back.<br>Professor B: I'm going to miss class later in the semester for a conference. Can you cover for me then?</span></blockquote><span><br>There are two problems. First, Professors A and B did not "pay each other back:" they both did unpaid labor *for the university.* They should both get paid overtime.<br><br>Secondly, it is completely preposterous to put the sick person in charge of finding their sub. Contrast that with K-12 schools where (at least in good school districts) they have people who's full-time job is to substitute teach. That likely wouldn't work for grad classes due to how specialized the knowledge is, but for lower level classes, every university department should have at least one full-time substitute teacher whose job is to cover the classes of instructors who are absent.<br><br>"But who's going to pay for it?!?"<br>The government should pay for it like they did pre-1980s. <br><br></span><a href="https://transfem.social/tags/Labor" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Labor</a> <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/HigherEducation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HigherEducation</a> <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/University" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#University</a> <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/SubstituteTeacher" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SubstituteTeacher</a> <a href="https://transfem.social/tags/Teachers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Teachers</a><p></p>
SLCW💥<p>This elderly <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/substituteTeacher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>substituteTeacher</span></a> was beaten by a nearly 300lb student, and the school allegedly "prohibited" police from arresting the suspect. Excuse me, but what? Why TF are police taking their orders from school administrators when it comes to arrests? The man was brutally assaulted, and he clearly told officers he wanted to press charges against the perpetrator. They told him no, because of the school's wishes. Something is seriously wrong here.</p><p><a href="https://nypost.com/2024/02/28/us-news/indiana-teacher-bob-gooding-says-school-refused-to-arrest-student-who-hit-him/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nypost.com/2024/02/28/us-news/</span><span class="invisible">indiana-teacher-bob-gooding-says-school-refused-to-arrest-student-who-hit-him/</span></a></p>
Shiny Amygdala, ph.D<p>When k-12 teachers go on strike, I always have mixed thoughts. </p><p>When I read the demands of the teachers who strike I dually note them, and it all makes sense ( my spouse is an educator--- a sub-- and is treated very poorly on account of being Autistic), YET, the way strikers are going about it is poorly organized. </p><p>I think that bringing parents of students into the fight is IMPERATIVE. </p><p>The teachers are not the victims of the students. As exploited and manipulated as teachers are, it will never equate the oppression of youth. </p><p>Teachers won't be ultimately successful at striking, and winning those strikes, unless they bring their students, and students' families into that fight. </p><p>A teacher can't be arrested for repeatedly not showing up to work. A teacher won't lose custody of their family for not showing up to work. Parents do lose custody of children for repeat truancy. Students do have to show up to court for repeated truancy. </p><p>(This next part is especially toward educators) </p><p>NORMALIZE STUDENTS NOT SHOWING UP TO SCHOOL. NORMALIZE STUDENTS PROTESTING THAT SYSTEM. </p><p>Don't over explain and explain and explain how you're undervalued as an educator and then in a different post, talk about the problems of truancy and students "giving up". </p><p>It seems like you had no problem with being part of the school to prison pipeline as long as it benefitted you. </p><p>You all sound like you want increased pay and benefits for being the children's prison guards </p><p>Hypocrisy and double standards smell worse than fresh dogs' droppings on a hot summer day.</p><p><a

Monica DePaul, Author<p>This brat--who misbehaved in other ways as well--noticed I wrote "Monica DePaul" on the board because writing "Ms. DePaul" is not illegal under transphobic Florida law. He kept calling me "sir" in every interaction and kept trying to get my attention by shouting it across the crowded room. Legally, all I could do was ignore him because correcting him would be considered a lesson on gender politics--though technically agreeing with him and identifying my very femme-presenting self as male would ALSO be a lesson on gender politics, in addition to an outright lie. If only I hadn't gotten banned, and if only DeSantis could stop existing, I wouldn't be stuck dealing with this crap.</p><p>Transphobic freshman<br>He just keeps calling me "sir"<br>I can't correct him</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/HaikusByMonica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HaikusByMonica</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Haiku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Haiku</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Daily" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Daily</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poetry</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Poet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poet</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AmWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmWriting</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writer</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Author</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Teacher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Teacher</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SubstituteTeacher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SubstituteTeacher</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transgender</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Florida" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Florida</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DeSantis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeSantis</span></a></p>
Monica DePaul, Author<p>Every so often, a pedantic kid in a class I'm subbing won't stop pressing me about why I call out last names instead of first names while taking attendance. I can't tell them all of these in class because of Florida law and general anti-trans hate, but here is every reason:<br>1. They are literally in order by last name, not first. I lose track if I'm calling first. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a><br>2. Not every student wants to be called their legal first name. If the attendance list gives an alternative, I don't know which is right or if I have permission to use it.<br>3. I don't want to out or deadname queer kids.<br>4. There are too many new laws in this state governing what I can say, and I'm taking no chances.<br>5. This is a high school. You are 14 at minimum. YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOUR LAST NAME IS.<br>6. Haven't you been called <br>by your last name in school before? I was. A lot. Why would this be so weird to you?</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/HaikusByMonica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HaikusByMonica</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Haiku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Haiku</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Daily" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Daily</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poetry</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Poet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poet</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AmWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmWriting</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writer</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Author</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Teacher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Teacher</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SubstituteTeacher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SubstituteTeacher</span></a></p>
Monica DePaul, Author<p>Because of the free speech-violating expansion of DeSantis' "Don't Say Gay" law to 12th, I'm banned from calling myself Ms. DePaul in class, and I would rather surgically graft myself to an angry skunk than pretend to be a man just to please the fascists running Florida.

Monica DePaul, Author<p>The only high school substitute jobs I'm finding are for half-day positions, but if I take one, I can't see any full-day postings. Otherwise, it's all middle school.

I don’t think it’s enough to rely on experience from the distant past to truly understand what today’s teachers are up against.

I’ve found it humbling and I think it makes me a better consultant. It’s challenged some of my assumptions but also confirmed others. It’s great PD and you will be doing your part to address teacher shortages and burnout in your community.</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/edutooters" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>edutooters</span></a></span> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/edpolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>edpolicy</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/consulting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>consulting</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/freelance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freelance</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>teaching</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/substituteteacher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>substituteteacher</span></a></p>
