Anyway the substitute system isn't the best, at least in my school district. So many substitutes are called into subjects they've never taught or know anything about (Had a history teacher sub for Advanced Chemistry). It just leads to more confusion.
You have to understand though that being a sub is hard. Your asking some random person to walk in and take control of 30 students when they've been with the previous teacher for a few months, when you have no respect but the old teacher does? Yea, it doesn't work out all the time. Subs also have a sterotype following them, and its hard to break it. Most subs are pushovers, give boring busy work, or bitch and yell. Its not something thats easy to do.

If your a sub then... why bother trying to teach?
Just sit in the room, read a magazine and make sure the kids stay in class/dont kill each other.
