Which came first the postion or the hiring?

The new asst basketball coach at Mason County will be a full time sub. Is this a new position? I believe that , the school system lives by the golden rule, who has all the gold rules. The sports teams have all the gold, so they rule the hiring.

Have I missed something in the years since I graduated, but when did a "sub" become a full time position? I thought that's what you did when you wanted a part-time job after you retired or to fill in while furthering your education or something like that. I know you can "sub" at different schools as you are called from their lists but I've never heard of this before. I'm not a teacher but know several, but this is news to me. They always say you learn something new everyday so I guess this is my "something" for today.

Patches, that is what I am thinking too

Actually, this is not a new practice. It may be new to Mason County. As a retired teacher, I can just about guarantee that in one of the four schools in Mason County on any given day, there will be someone absent. However, I would almost bet that the person in question will never spend a day at Straub or the Intermediate School. What I think would be a more pertinent question is the pay scale and benefits this person will receive. I would hope that someone that is required to be at school each day would get a teacher's salary and also benefits offered to regular staff.

What's the big deal? The person hired just also happens to be qualified as a teacher. Wow! How about?Two problems solved at one time??? I say fire everyone involved!!! Seriously, it's past time for everyone to lay off the school system (although, not completely; they still make some bonehead moves, this just isn't one of them). We may not agree with everthing they do but this is getting ridiculous!
