i see tons of sub openings here, it seems like they are really struggling to get coverage, but no increase in pay. when i last checked, it looked like they might actually be paying less?! for...

no

i don't feel safe at all. i saw too much in my district to believe going back with the addition of covid can be safe, particularly for a sub.

Tori

i avoid block classes in my district because, if it's a terrible class, you're trapped with them that much longer. if they go off the rails, they build up to much worse behavior over that longer...

probably not

sometimes i think about it, because i really don't want to be any more broke. lost snap, just looked at student loans today (70k and rising), so this is a really hard choice. i keep coming back to...

nope

we haven't heard a word suggesting we will be used for distance learning, only in-person stuff. i'm not saying it's impossible, but i won't count on that being an option in my district.

cop

without even being pulled, i think playing covid cop in class is what this year looks like for us. teaching was hard enough for a sub in my district; if i go back, i expect horrific behavior and i...

i like your thinking. i think maybe one phone call, and after that you don't come back for a week or something (for older kids). you wanna come to school? play by the rules.

still not sure

i honestly don't know. i just saw plans that my district is considering, which look like a hybrid model. the thing is, a lot of students at my main school are not super well-behaved on the best of...

i'm curious to know whether your experience as a sub led you to this conclusion or if you already felt that way?
