Sub teachers

Only one of the 12 high schools I sub at is open for regular school and that is Red Wing. Today there are 7 unfilled jobs for subs. Many subs are retired teachers, meaning older people, and they are not that anxious to return to work. Many others were young teachers looking for full time work and many of them have found other full time jobs during the shut down and are no longer working as subs. There was a shortage of subs before the virus and things will be worse when schools open again. The average student has a sub for one year out of the 12 years of school. In other words a student has a sub one out of every 12 school days. The number one rule for subs is to follow the lesson.
