It can be a wonderful job. Or a really tough one depending on where you work. But for anyone who says "it's easy", I challenge them to spend a day substitute teaching. Just one day.
And if you love it, then step up to the plate. There should be quite a few openings within the next five years. Someone has to do it.
Roger that. The wife was always bringing work home, grading papers or working on lesson plans. Then there was the occasional call from a parent. She'd often put in 10-12 hrs./day including all the extra stuff.
I remember my first few weeks substitute teaching. It was all I could do to come home and collapse. I felt like I got hit by a truck. It got a little easier as time went by, but there were always some very challenging days.
