"She decided to come back as first a volunteer and then as a sub, so while she formally retired, she is still making money as a sub. Ok thats not the problem although alot of people at the school feel its not fair."


If Mrs. Q were a retired lawyer, business exec., nurse, etc., she would probably be accepted as a sub without question. Because she is retired from this particular school and collecting a pension from the school district, there are sour grapes among the other school employees who feel that it's innapropriate for Mrs. Q to be subbing at the school. Just because she draws a pension doesn't mean she should volunteer her time without pay. You wouldn't expect any other retired professional to sub without pay so your coworkers shouldn't resent a retired teacher getting paid to sub.
