[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can make $18/hr working at a local tutoring center where I can set my own schedule.  Why would I want to make the same amount of money for more headaches?  Or as a driving adult with children out of the house, I'm sure I could make $18/hr as an after school nanny.  If I needed full time work, I'm sure I could make $18/hr caring for an infant.

I just don't understand the substitute payscale model.  How can the school system realistically expect people to want to do this job if there are easier gigs elsewhere for the same amount of money.[/quote]

But the point is there is no other flexible job that is open at will during the same hours/days your kid is in school.  [/quote]

You mean for ES, plenty of people work part-time flexible jobs with kids in MS and HS.[/quote]

Sure. but substitute teaching fills a niche for people who want to be home when their kids are home and don't want to commit to a regular job.  There's nothing else that really does that that I can think of.  [/quote]

Except for part-time work in offices.[/quote]

You have to commit to regular days.  Substitute teaching if you don't want to do it on any given day you don't have to.  You could do it once every 3 months and then 5 days in a row etc. [/quote]

It’s true, it’s flexible. People can sign up whenever they want. That doesn’t make it’s easy work for $18/hour.[/quote]

I'm not arguing that--It's not easy work and it should pay more (though taxpayers would have to make that decision I guess).  It's just the people who say they can get other jobs with the same benefits easily are not giving enough credit to the fact that it's really very flexible but nearly always available. [/quote]

The only benefit is the flexibility, but there aren’t millions of SAHMs who want to work 3x a month.[/quote]
