Teachers, a question
I've been on maternity leave since the beginning of the 3rd trimester. I go back next week and will finish the year. In looking at my online gradebook for the trimester so far, my grades are massively inflated. My sub is following my lesson plans and rubrics, but she's grading far easier and more leniently than I would. I don't think there's anything to be done but I wanted to get some opinions. How would you handle this?

Unfortunately, you can't do anything about it because you were not the teacher at the time. When you go back, you can set your own expectations and just go from there.
I'm so thankful that my maternity leave fell perfectly in our trimesters at school. I was out for the 2nd trimester of the year. All of the classes were completely run by the sub. I came back at the start of the 3rd trimester and went on my merry way with brand new classes.
I said "Alright guys...we need to have a talk. You know I've been checking my grade book online and I know your grades are..well..above what they have been. You need to know this stuff and it's going to be on the final. BSing your way through an assignment to get an A isn't going to cut it anymore. Capishe?"
The grades can balance themselves out...I know mine did eventually.
