A Constant NEED For Substitutes – Here’s an Idea: COMMUNICATION – What a Thought

               School started about a week before Labor Day weekend.  I still have yet to post the details as we had gone out of town for a belated-graduation-gift/last-hoorah-before-going-off-college fast trip that we took to southern California.  Richard was told that he would NOT be substitute teaching as the school/board/employment office/whatever  had not received all the necessary paperwork – which certainly was NOT the fault of Richard who had submitted multiple times.  So it came as a surprise to both when the phone would ring with information about what districts were looking for subs.

            He’d worked for about two weeks and has actually received a couple of schools directly from schools he had subbed for previously – asking for him personally – but Edustaff has deactivated his account as the paperwork evidently still hasn’t arrived.  Huh??? Get with the program people.  It is no wonder that the districts are hurting for subs if the right hand doesn’t ever know what the left hand is doing.  Too many “so-called” captains and not enough crew.

            I told Richard just forget it.  He wasn’t really happy at it as it wasn’t anything as he had thought.  I think he’s trying to repair things for the sake of the schools.  I understand why the careful selection – but it’s been over four months. Apparently his paperwork is sitting on the desk in some other office - maybe a different state.  IT WAS SENT ELECTONICALLY!!!   Please just get your act in gear.
