I think there is nothing wrong in calling substitute teachers "subs." Subs does not entail that the are of low quality or value, it is just a slang use in schools in addressing substitute teachers. It helps some administrators in schools to differentiate substitute teachers from full time teachers, so they call us/them subs. I am proud to be a substitute teacher. At least I am getting paid, "subs."
