So any of you want to sign up to be mcps substitute teachers

[Anonymous]

No and H no. Just volunteering in a classroom was enough and this was pre pandemic.

A lot of professionals have professions that don’t allow for a “side hustle”, unlike teaching.

A lot of professions pay a living wage so there is no need for a "side hustle."

You could take a few days off

Allow. Non-employee. Substitutes.

Can still require all the trainings/background checks. Doesn't shackle a person with employee status for something that isn't always a full-time job. Lets people deduct things they otherwise couldn't. Allows more at-will engagement.

Two months agao, I submitted an application to be a substitute teacher, completed the online background check, training, etc. but I haven't heard anything. How should I follow-up?

I would love but they don't let parents

If this is the case, I love MoCo! FCPS (precovid) there were way too many parents in the classroom and being hired at their kid's school.

For less than $20/hour and no benefits? No thank you.

Seriously? What school/how did you do this? I absolutely would be happy to help. Would have had more leave to volunteer if I was not out 1/3 of December with kids exposed at school but I’m willing to do what I can!

If its good enough for you to demand others do it, why can't you? You need the staff at the schools!

Of course they do.

This. No more excuses. Take leave and go sub if nothing whatsoever is more important than your kids being housed in buildings while COVID numbers spike.

For the 5% of the people on DCUM who indignantly claim to be Front Line Healthcare Workers every time this is suggested, you are exempt. The rest of you — get to work. We’re all rooting for ya!

Cool. Then don’t complain when they’re closed.

Yes they do. Just fill out the job application like anyone else.

and schedule a fingerprinting appointment and pay for that and other background checks. Roughly $50.

I watch my grandkids, but would substitute once they all get in school.
