[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Starting pay for monitors seems to be $18 an hour. I have not looked at the job offerings for part time jobs available during school hours but I am not sure how many jobs offer that same pay and a guarantee of a job for a number of hours. I am not talking about consulting jobs or white collar jobs that allow part time work but am thinking of the types of jobs that some of the Moms (the one Dad I know at home doesn't work) in my neighborhood have. Those are mainly at stores for 16 hours a week. The Moms I know who work those positions are looking for a bit of extra cash, something to do during the day, some adult interactions, and available during their kids school hours. If that is what you are looking for, $18 seems to be a fair salary to start at doing different supervisory tasks throughout the day at the school. The money would probably help with presents for special days, vacation, or a college fund.

Assuming 30 hours of work a week, you are looking at about $400 a week, after taxes. That is not a bad amount to use to bolster other spending. [/quote]

Maybe good for younger retirees?[/quote]

It is good for some people and if it relieves Teachers of having to cover recess or other activities or have some coverage for classes when Teachers have to be in a meeting, then great. It sounds like a way to get coverage that doesn't cause Teachers to lose their planning periods and other time during the school day. Hopefully it works for enough people that they can have a good number of monitors and Teachers can get back some of the time that they lost.

Honestly, it doesn't matter who it is a good fit for if it works. I am not going to judge someone who thinks that it is a good way to pick up some extra money while being able to stay home with their kids. I don't understand why other people think that it is their place to be judging what works for individuals. I wouldn't sneeze at making an extra $2000 a month if I was at home with my kid. I can see how that money would come in handy and how the position would be convenient. [/quote]
