"SUBservient", "SUBsidiary", "SUBstandard", "SUBordinant"-these are only a few of the terms that aptly describe the general sentiment towards Substitute Teachers. As many would attest, it is an unfortunate state of affairs that this attitude toward substitute teachers is not only shared on the part of students, but full-time faculty all the same. Moreover, one may argue that the first word used to describe this essential occupation, "substitute", carries with it a certain level of contempt, and thereby bears some responsibility for the stigma associated with this most necessary aspect of grade school education.
As an educator of eighteen years, who has benefited immensely from the valiant service of substitute teachers, I have noticed that these individuals are viewed more as "substitute" than "teacher." This is neither profitable for the sub, nor the student.
