[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]zero chance you will want to teach after subbing. sub plans are babysitting with no interaction or relationships with students.

A good sub who knows their subject won't just babysit, even if the notes effectively say that. As a sub they'll have the freedom to teach anything they want while subbing. They could teach beyond the curriculum if they perceive the kids can handle it, all without worrying about admin stuff or getting terminated.[/quote]

I'm an ES teacher and we have some recently retired teachers who have started subbing. They say they enjoy it.[/quote]

Well that’s because they know what they are doing. A sub that hasn’t taken any classes to know how to run a classroom might be just completely lost. I recently subbed a class because teacher had to leave last minute…I had to really improvise when it came to behavior management in the classroom because I wasn’t sure what exactly I was to do. Perhaps a training for new subs would be helpful [/quote]
