Hi, I know that there was recently a topic of glorified babysitting in the
library being circulated; I am being asked to be a glorified babysitter outside
the library. My principal has pulled from the library 14 days this year to sub
for classroom teachers. It happened again today, and I spoke up and told her
the material I was going over with my classes that day was too important for
the students to miss. She thinks I'm not being flexible enough and not
understanding that we're a specail school (choice) where we work together as a
team to help everyone out. In an emergency situation I wouldn't mind filling
in, but 14 times this year is taking advantage of my time. She tells me that
I'm only the librarian 50% of my time and a sub 10%, however none of my
paperwork says anything about 10% of my job being a substitute. This piece of
information was also not given to me at my interview. And because we're a
choice school, I don't have a contract and feel that I don't have a leg to
stand on. My question is this: Do any of you out there have to sub for other
teachers 10% of your time, or at all? And secondly, does anyone have any
advice for me? (I am considering looking for other jobs already)
Thank You,
