Do they actually talk? I always assumed the substitute teacher just left notes.

My girlfriend, who is an honors teacher, mentioned that substitutes rarely engage in activities beyond following a basic lesson plan or showing a movie. I find it hard to comprehend the necessity of leaving notes, except for serving as a paper trail for the principal.

a paper trail for the principal

I was in a band called that. We mostly played punk, anti-war protest songs, and combinations thereof.

i can't speak to middle/high, but elementary there's a computer system where they leave notes. same place they leave the sub plans and discipline and grades and shit. I would imagine it's similar. My wife only sees her subs on days where she has to work and still needs a substitute - she just has stuff to do outside the classroom (yeah life is not all gumdrops and chocolate in substitute time it's maybe 25% gumdrop and 40% chocolate. the rest is meetings that could have been knife fights and nougat)
