[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely don't sub for elementary. Student behaviors might be better and less attitude than high school, but if you just want an easy gig, secondary is the way to go. You have to keep them entertained 45 minutes at a time, more than likely just working on worksheets or make-up work. Elementary you're on all day long and have to keep the same class entertained, not to mention bringing them to lunch, specials, etc. [/quote]

Sub elementary if you want to actually teach. Go with middle or high school if it’s just a job. At upper levels, it feels more like babysitting. Elementary you’re trying to make it a regular day and you’re teaching content. You won’t sit all day in most classes. And yes, you will get sick subbing elementary. One of the most underpaid gigs around. [/quote]

My DC in high school said subs have a "you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours" attitude -- you leave me alone to stare at my phone and I'll do the same for you. Is that true???[/quote]

Sometimes. It depends on the sub plans and the sub. I always try to provide something meaningful as an activity. [/quote]
