      It is okay and is something to do

      Substitute teacher
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You are able to work when you want, make your own schedule and take the time off you need to. Planner is usually set up by the teacher and teachers around you can he helpful. Choosing new schools and grades you work at is a bonus, never a dull moment in that respect. There is a simple background check, fingerprinting and you just need a high school diploma (so my BA didn’t matter). There was no formal interview.

      Cons

      It is low paying. $105 a day (that is peanuts). There is no accountability when it comes to the students (truly you cannot force them to even do their work or stay in their seats). The environment is hostile at times with behavioral problems and no assistance (this is not inner city schools). Teachers who do not leave enough work in the planners to keep students occupied (2 math problems for an hour is not sufficient) A lot of schools are so short handed that you will be seen as a savior but the kids will see you as a doormat.
