[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is 100% the fault of APS. Many principals are already reaching out to the community, and then when you go to apply to become a substitute all excited to help out with the crisis, you run into a bureaucratic mess. My principal sent out an email begging for subs a few weeks before school started, I submitted by application a week later, and I was hired in November. All this for the privilege of dealing with difficult kids all day for $18 an hour.

I do very much enjoy substituting and I am happy to help, but I can only do it because im a privileged SAHM with kids in school full time who happens to have a passion for education. If they paid a lot more and were able to get the ball rolling at HR they wouldn’t leave teachers scrambling. (Of course I think they first need to pay teachers a lot more so I dunno how that would work out).

Another thing is that they haven’t done a good job of letting the public know that school-based subs (who come to school every day and just cover for whoever needs it) get benefits. If I didn’t have a chronic illness that makes it so I can’t work every day I would gun for that job since DH is self employed and our health insurance is ridiculously expensive. [/quote]
I did not know that SBS get benefits! Is that new?[/quote]
