If I put this much time into preparing for a sub., I expect something in return. NO, I don't want pages back. I leave a preprinted form for my subs. with specific questions: I also leave a note about my incentive programs (stamping cards, caughtyas, and treats) and encourage the subs to use them--irritating when they aren't used, since I'm sure the students would behave better. And I leave a note explaining that I like to reward kids who have an awesome day, so would the sub please leave specific names of very helpful, on-task kids and also names of rotten kids (and include their behaviors!) As mentioned on the other post about subs leaving notes for teachers, I want a sub who can be honest about the day and not leave the "We had a great day." note. I hear from students and other teachers, so that is frustrating. Also, if I haven't specifically asked for papers to be graded, I DO NOT WANT THEM GRADED. And I do not want any extra work given to my students (if they have other things to do.) A few years ago, one horrid substitute gave my class a page of math to do because they were being bad. She left me a long, detailed note about how I should support substitutes everywhere (HELLO...been there) and take grades on those papers (by grading them myself!!). Great way to return from an appendectomy. Those papers went right into the garbage. Good luck with substituting!
