[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm actually more concerned with the terribly low level of education required to be a sub. It's shocking to me. No college graduates required. http://www.fcps.edu/hr/employment/subs/applicants_new.shtml[/quote] It's a question of supply. If you want to hire a college grad, you need to offer a decent rate of pay. Subs get a pittance and no benefits even if they work every day. In exchange, they deal with riled up kids in an unfamiliar setting without the support of colleagues. I'd steer clear of that, too. MCPS requires a degree and briefly required a teaching certificate for newly hired subs. The pool shrank too small to met demand. They had to relax the certification rule just to ensure enough subs to cover teacher absences at low volume times, let alone high absentee days.[/quote]
