God no. If I were teaching (not yet but soon I hope!) I wouldn't want someone under qualified running my classroom. Not to mention that substitute teaching is completely different from full time teaching. (Unless it's a long term substitution.)

Educators often complain that elected officials have no idea what teachers face in the classroom every day.
Now, a Louisiana state rep wants to change that by forcing school board members to substitute teach for three days a year in their districts.
State Rep. Tim Burns, R-Mandeville, has introduced a bill requiring Louisiana school board members to teach for three full school days each year of their term, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
Under the bill, school board members could teach in any school within their system. They would not be paid for their substitute stints.
Should school board members be required to serve as substitute teachers? | Get Schooled
I love this idea. I realize it probably won't pass, but I would love to see ANYONE who , thinks they know how to manage a classroom or run a school, "walk the walk".

I like the idea...but...three days in a classroom a year? What would you expect/hope a board member would learn? Tossing an unprepared/untrained person into some classrooms would be an immediate cause for chaos. Does the bill require the board member to prepare a lesson plan? Know and understand the material? Seems to me a better plan would have board members observe, something they should do and have done prior to running for the school board.
