Similar problems By MKat

I have also turned down several long term assignments (one last year, one already this year) because I really don't want to work every day with my other commitments. I think this is hard for my principal to understand - and some of the teachers too.

I had good luck last year with making myself available a couple days a week in the general sub pool, but only for assignments at my school. When people see me working around the building they start requesting again. I was hoping to do requests only this year, but may have to take morning calls as well again to keep myself visible as a sub (not just seen as a volunteer!).
