NP, so not one of the complainers. I'm seriously thinking about it but... One, the pay isn't great. And two, I've been self-employed for so long that I just find it weird to have to get transcripts from my school for a job. And I need a recommendation from my employer (which is currently me and my last employer was 10+ years ago). And I also need a character reference recommendation, but I usually work by myself and it just seems awkward to ask a client or a friend for a reference. However, as a native English speaker I've got that skill down pretty well, can arrive on-time and sober, and have no problems exactly following a teacher's lesson plan. [/quote]

So, this is me, almost to a tee.  I have been subbing this year and I don't know if I will continue.  Many teachers I've met have been great, especially when I've been left "emergency plans".  There are some schools where I will certainly return and others that treat substitutes like stupid, 2nd class citizens.  No thank you.  I'm getting paid very little to come in and try to keep 25 students on task all day when a third were never taught how be respectful in school.  I don't think the pay is adequate, at all.  Like I said, there are some places I enjoy going back b/c the other teachers are really great and the classes are manageable. Others would require a lot more money than the measly hourly pay and 25 minute lunch break.  [/quote]
