They tried something similar during the shutdown last year. How many furloughed workers were willing to come in and sub? Of those people, how many came back a second time? We had a laid off project manager come in our school and he couldn't even handle a reasonably tame group of 4th graders. He took off at lunch time without notice and was never heard from again.[/quote]

I was alt cert and started in late 2001. We were a cohort of 20. Despite a crappy post-9/11 economy with freezes everywhere, only 1/2 of my cohort lasted until the end of the year. And these were people who had already had a couple grad-level edu classes under their belt over the summer. It was much harder than they anticipate. Some quite as soon as they found another job. Others quit without a parachute. Of those of us who stayed only 5 of us still teach today.[/quote]
