Abstract | This article is an open letter to English teachers by the author, a second-year graduate student in English education doing substitute teaching. She argues that as a substitute teacher, expectations of her teaching abilities and those of most substitute teachers are incredibly low, and that low expectations often result in low performance. Here, she makes a plea to teachers to trust that substitute teachers are competent and capable enough to teach their students by leaving them with an engaging, educationally sound lesson plan instead of videos and worksheets. She outlines what she means by engaging, educationally sound lesson plans, and concludes by saying that there are excellent substitute teachers in school districts throughout the country who would welcome the opportunity to teach, rather than merely babysit students, maintain classroom control, and keep students well disciplined and "on task" with busywork.
