I understand there is a sub shortage, but teachers should NOT be responsible for covering the classes of teachers who are out for any reason. And if a teacher CHOOSES to do that, then compensation should be available. I said what I said. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

If someone in a relationship said they felt unsafe, belittled, financially-abused, or emotionally traumatized you would tell them to leave immediately. But when it’s a teacher talking about their job, you question their character and beg them to stay.
