Education

I went back to sub, after having been full time and then staying home for some years to raise a family. I was one of a couple of subsi in the area at the time who were often requested' (once having been called from one district while subbing at another). i was also willing to go into classrooms out of my own fields (English and reading specialist}, which many inexperienced teachers were not, at the time. BELIEVE ME, it is much easier to sub, once you've been a "regular" teacher. However, I must confess to going into new situations MUCH MEANER than I really was as a regular teacher. I agree completely with what you posted. So true! My one complaint: After two weeks for the same teacher , you were paid MORE as a "long term" sub. If you were going in for more than two weeks unexpectedly for the same teacher, most districts would put you in for ANOTHER teacher and call a new sub for the teacher you'd been covering. Disrupting for the students, as well maddening for you.
