[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ We are notifying you that Arlington County Public Schools  
Towards the end of January we are having K - 2 come back in person two days a week, and virtual two days a week. We will have sub teacher oppurtunities, instructional assistant positions, and support positions in person (temp checks, covering recess, etc.)
Virtual jobs will still be available. ”[/quote]

I worked in person in a different district this year. Let me tell you, there is no chance APS is paying anything close to enough to make it worth it to go in as a sub, IA, or other support position. For anyone remotely tempted: don’t do it.[/quote]

Yes. No way will I be going in under these circumstances. I’m fortunate that I have a choice. [/quote]

I am spending this week of break actively applying to any other job. The good news is because our salary is garbage it won’t be hard to find something even close to what I currently make. As soon as I get an offer I’m out. [/quote]

what type of jobs are you applying to that will allow you to WFH, have summers and all holidays off? [/quote]

and a decent salary and benefits.. I think you may be in for a rude awakening. [/quote]

A. We use my husbands benefits 
B. My “decent” salary is literally entry level at most jobs

I understand you are invested in making teachers feel worthless, lacking in any skills, desperate, unemployable because then we stay in the system and watch your kids but what you fail to realize is the bar is set literally so low that nearly any job would still be a better trade off. I mean do you hear yourselves! You’re talking to an educated professional with multiple degrees like I’m no more qualified than washing cars and yet you think we should want to stick around in this field? [/quote]

okay- you say you have multiple degrees, and have been teaching for many years.  Also, since we are on an APS thread, I assume we are talking APS.   So I assume you are making approximately 80,000 a year, for a 10th month contract.   The equivalent 12 month salary would be 96,000.   What entry level job do you think is paying 96,000 a year??????   And will allow indefinite 100% telework?

if you are thinking of continuing with online teaching of ceramics- you might look into outschool.  You can set the number of classes you teach, when they are , and what you charge for them.  Then you need to get to be a popular enough outschool teacher with enough students to meet your prices.     Outschool takes 30%, you get 70%.
