2. No. The regular teacher and the substitute teacher are two different jobs. I would however be very curious to see how *other substitutes* handle various situtations.
5. Lack of respect. Consequeces are vague and not uniformly applied. 6. I think it has a lot to do with waiting for a phone call early in the morning. You don't know if you are going to work on any given day. Working 5 days a week, you won't make much money - and chances are you won't even get called that often. No benefits is a biggie, I'm sure. Plus it can be an unrewarding job if the kids beat you up every day. I think most subs should have a base school where they report every day and they only get a call if they are needed at a different school. That is what I wound up doing and that works a LOT better. 7. My best days were in 6th grade English. Every day, students spend some time reading from self-selected novels. So when I come in, I just say "Open up your self-selected novels and read for 20 minutes." Because the students picked the books out themselves, they tend to enjoy them. Nothing better than having a whole class of middle school kids silently reading to themselves.
