Pros

Get to basically work for myself. I get to decide where and when and how often I work.

Cons

The requirement for a substitute teacher is breathing. The schools always complain about how bad the subs are, but they pay less than a teacher assistant! It is embarrassing to go to work knowing that the helper is making the same if not more than you. They on;y start to pay decently after one has worked 480 hours. That takes most of the school year! They would be able to be more picky and have people willing to be a substitute teacher as an actual career type job if they rewarded the good ones. But they don't.

Pros

online program to get assignments flexible offers subs unfilled seats for professional development programs

Cons

very little support from administration rather than having subs concentrate at just a couple schools, you work at too many and don't get to know the students or the rules and procedures at each school pays the least of any of the area schools
