6. She Was A Sub!

As a sub, I can say that makes it even worse. In the news article linked earlier today, she was ID'd as a substitute teacher. I think it was the Atlanta paper.
A teacher doing it is horrible. A sub doing it is MORE horrible.
She has no way of knowing whether that sort of commentary is consistent with the regular teacher's plan.
So, it's stupid and wrong, but it's highly inappropriate for a sub to decide what opinions should be advertised.
If politics come up in the classroom, no matter which way it leans, I shut it down and focus everyone on the topic at hand.
If the regular teacher encourages that discussion, it can wait until he/she is present.
I think subs should avoid that situation.
Add to that, she's lying, and I can see her sub license being suspended.
