[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about subbing at a school?  I know a mom who subs at my son's parochial school and seems to like the work.[/quote]

If I quit my job, it will be to SAH or work somewhere else. My district doesn't favor part time teaching (probably because they don't want to have to pay benefits for more people; they prefer to see teachers take overages and there are enough who need the money who do it so that's not on the table anyway). And subbing us a NIGHTMARE. It's like babysitting with 0 authority. I would never want to do that if I didn't need the money. Thanks for the suggestion though, I do appreciate all of the replies.

I think I am stuck though until my kids are older and in public school full time. Like I said, my husband doesn't think going back for another master's degree is a good idea (especially now) so that's out. He thinks I should SAH and get a job volunteering somewhere if I need the outlet. But as tempting as that plan is, it would put me in a potentially vulnerable position so I don't know if that is really a good idea. Sigh. I don't know what to do.[/quote]

well, presumably you became a teacher because something about it appealed to you. What exactly is it that you don't like about your current position? What do you like?

I know several former teachers who make pretty good money tutoring. They have continued what they like: working with kids, educating them; but have dispensed with what they don't like: administrative hassles, rigid routine, time spent with lesson planning and grading. Would something like that work for you? Of course, you would have to be willing to do most of your work between the hours of, say, 3 and 8 pm. Another idea is working as a home teacher for kids who are homebound due to illness.

Another idea for someone looking to get out of teaching is working in adult literacy. Lots of volunteer positions, but there are administrative aspects as well and a volunteer could develop and expand expertise that could later be parlayed into a paid position.[/quote]
