[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will sign up as soon as my youngest (senior) gets into college.   I actually won't mind being a substitute teacher. I am super qualified in Math. [/quote]
I expect that with a Math background you could pick and choose your assignments.  Teachers are always looking for subs who can teach the lesson plan rather than just babysit.  When I was a teacher if I ever needed a sub I usually got the former, but I expect that with Covid, the latter is more prevalent than before.  [/quote]

If they were going to do it, they'd do it now.  They are just staying that to pretend they will and are doing something to help.[/quote]

Not the math person above,  but I was a sub who could teach lesson plans, math, Eng at hs level.  With some classes, that was a problem with kids expecting not to work and acting up.  I sure wouldn't want to enforce mask wearing with some of them.[/quote]

I'm really quite good at math, and beyond advanced at any math that would be taught in grade k-12.   But, does that really translate into an effective substitute teacher???  Teaching is a skill that I don't have much of, and I have a feeling I'd be terrified (in non-COVID times, this is not COVID related!) of standing up in front of a group of children and being responsible for imparting knowledge on to them.

I have a <5 with closed childcare, so no, I'm not trying to sub or even supervising lunch/recess.  But real question, are people who are warm bodies but no experience or knowledge about teaching actually desired for subs???  [/quote]

You can work as a paraprofessional and that's 1-1 or smaller groups.  You really are just pretending to tell yourself you are a great person but you really have no intention of actually doing things or helping.  [/quote]
