—teacher who had to cover a colleague’s classes again today because no one picked up the job[/quote]

I have thought about doing this occasionally to help out.  I would probably only do this for a teacher taking a vacation day rather than a sick day because I think it's a tough position for someone to come into a class of kids they don't know teaching a random grade of kids with perhaps no lesson plan.  I get it if you're sick you probably can't lay out what someone should cover with the kids so that's probably why I would only do planned vacations.  There are also a limited number of schools I would want to substitute in.  I also get it that if you sub you don't get to choose which makes me hesitant to do it.

I do volunteer on my days off in the school though.  I make copies, sort papers, read stories to kids in the library.[/quote]

I’ve been doing substitute teaching for a few years in my time off from my “real” job. The negatives of the in-class routine are accurate. But you do get to choose which schools you sub in and you do get to take the classes you want, so there’s plenty of control over your work. At least this is true in my district. Give it a try![/quote]
