Student Monitors

I am not talking about consulting jobs or white collar jobs that allow part time work but am thinking of the types of jobs that some of the Moms (the one Dad I know at home doesn't work) in my neighborhood have. Those are mainly at stores for 16 hours a week. The Moms I know who work those positions are looking for a bit of extra cash, something to do during the day, some adult interactions, and available during their kids school hours. If that is what you are looking for, $18 seems to be a fair salary to start at doing different supervisory tasks throughout the day at the school. The money would probably help with presents for special days, vacation, or a college fund.

Assuming 30 hours of work a week, you are looking at about $400 a week, after taxes. That is not a bad amount to use to bolster other spending.

Maybe good for younger retirees?

Why does DCUM always assume retirees want to be back in the classroom. They want to be retired.

They could mean people who retired early from lots of different positions and maybe want a bit of extra money with a bit less stress.

Yeah, I misread the post I saw it on. that said, it still works for some people and can add a bit of extra cash to a families budget that can do a good amount.

I’m thinking of retiring a few years early and subbing.

They don’t need plans to cover your recess block.

The recess block would amount to maybe 20 minutes of planning time. Besides, I value that time outside. I’m an ES teacher and we’ve heard about this. Our school is working on other ways they will provide the extra planning.

Teacher here. Our recess block is 30 mins and is attached to lunch. So if it takes you 15 mins to eat lunch then you would get 45 mins of planning time.

That might work if all kids eat in the cafeteria. Last year we had to do lunch in classrooms every other week. I lost lunch time waiting for my kids to go to the line and walk them back to my classroom.

Why on earth would kids not be back in the cafeteria this yeae?

I’m not sure. Our students were in the cafeteria (seated every other seat, one grade level at a time) all of last school year.
