I disagree with this statement, as I teach in NYC, in a public elementary
school, and am pulled for subbing many times.
I have covered all grades from k-5 when the teacher has to call in late for
a flat/traffic problem, has to leave early, or a sub cancelled at the last
minute or was going to be late. I've covered part of the day, as well as a
period or two.

Subject: Re: librarians pulled for subbing?
If you were in New York City, this would not occur unless you were in a mini
school or special school. I believe that it's a bit much to do as much as
you are doing. However, I think there is another issue involving you and your
principal. More experienced librarians do it now and then just to help out,
but I think you should find another school. Be careful, your principal has
formed an opinion concerning how she views the library and what she freels about
you. If she thinks that you are not a team player and not concerned about the
students, you may be out of a job, completely, or you will find it hard to
get a good rec from her. If I were you, I would happily do the coverages and do
booktalks or some library activity with them. Then you will be leaving the
school with a positive evaluation from the principal.This is especially
important if you are new. Rochester is a big city but the principal pipeline is
very small and powerful. Good luck. Linda
