Ahhh, the joys of substitute teachers. (Hey, I've been one many times. I can be a critic.) My particular favourite, I think, was the woman who thought she knew everything (so what's knew?) and decided to test my year 2 children's reading, leaving lengthy notes for me to ponder (and immediately discard) upon my return, instead of completing the work left my me (which a deaf drover's dog would have been able to follow). I was especially taken by the comment, "S appears to have trouble distinguishing "ch" and "sh" - better have him tested." Why thank you, Einstein. S was a level 6 Intellectually Impaired student with a paper-trail around the state mounting up to several metres high. If she'd read the material I'd left her instead of doing a spot of freelance guidance operations, she woud have stumbled onto that fact. Need I say being unable to read a few phonic blends was the least of S's troubles? Honestly, the time that dreadful woman could waste doing nothing productive - but still be paid good money for! Love, R xxx
