as supposed to

Not to be that guy, but it's "as opposed to". Hope this helps in the future!

    I say supposed here in place of opposed as “ supposed” implies “a correct course of action”, rather than “an alternative but opposite course of action.”

    "as opposed to" is an idiom that just means "in contrast". You're creating a contrast between what they're actually doing as opposed to what they're supposed to be doing. "As supposed to" doesn't work as a preposition and doesn't actually create a contrast on its own.
