Yeah, man. That's right.

When I read your original post my jaw just DROPPED. That bitch needs to not be allowed to work as a sub at anything less than the high school level ever again, IF THAT. Young kids are still in that stage where the teacher is always right- treating them in a way that amounts to emotional abuse and borders on physical abuse is just absolutely horrible.
There is not a formal certification for subs in my state; I used to work as one myself and the only requirement was a high school diploma or equivalent and a pulse. I walked into the main office and was hired on the spot and given a classroom THE NEXT DAY with no training. All you need is good common sense, and if you have a special area of expertise, they'll put you in a classroom that would benefit from it. I always found myself teaching the science classes- Bio, Chem, Earth Science, Physics.

Anyway, you don't necessarily NEED training or certification to just follow instructions that the regular classroom teacher has left- But my point is that substitute teachers SHOULD be required to register and show a photo ID with a reg # that follows them around so that when a teacher goes to apply for a job, the prospective employer can search to find if any complaints were lodged in the past. Because if that psycho [word I rarely use and can't use on this board] ever came NEAR a child of mine I'd be apeshit.
