Here in the county many certified staff use all of their sick time and then some. The problem is that nobody likes calling out sick ahead of time, so the school is always scrambling to find a substitute at the last minute.
If we are especially fortunate, one of the bus drivers will stay on as a sub, but when lady luck is not on our side we push for more innovative methods.
Option 1: send the students to the gym so that 20+ kids can disrupt the gym class that already has 40ish students.
Option 2: send the students to the library so that the librarian can babysit 20+ kids with nothing to do.
On one such occasion when we resorted to option 1 (sending the kids to the gym), students used this opportunity to engage in "inappropriate activities" in the bathroom.
Such innovation, such preparation, such flexibility.
The struggle is real.
