What is it like working as a Substitute Teacher, K-12?
August 2017
Interesting.
Substitute Teacher, K-12 in Verona:
Pros: What I like most is helping the kids learn more and become better people and have a future in the world instead of the one lives that they are used to. The alternative education side of Boces is difficult but worth it for the kids.
Cons: What I don't like about the job is that there isn't any benefits for a substitute teacher and no union. I also don't like when the kids have attitude problems sometimes and are very disrespectful and defiant and you have to literally argue with them to go to class. And the money isn't very good.

Flexibility.
Substitute Teacher, K-12 in Tallinn:
Pros: It's no repetitive. It's challenging and if you want you can learn a lot from the classes and the kids.
Cons: You never know what is going to happen on the next day. What classes do you need to teach and you are never ready to the class.

Substitute teaching.
Substitute Teacher, K-12:
Pros: I have the advantage of observing the different classrooms and teaching staff. Some of the schools are great to work in and I try to pick the same ones again when I can. I like having lessons already prepared and having student helpers who know the routine to make my assignments as less stressful. I the fact that using the lessons laid out I can teach the lesson for the students to learn what they need to know from the lesson. Also the teachers love the fact that I give out homework based on the worksheets provided by the teacher.
Cons: In some of the classrooms, I found there are some students who act out when a substitute teacher is assigned to them. There is no disciple with the classroom or the students. The principals of the schools are all at odds with the students and feel that their hands are tied. Another thing I like least about the job is that the assignments are few and once in a while I may get to work a whole week of assignments.
