My English Subsitute

[USF Colby]

Wrong, I tried to become a substitute teacher when I was in 5th grade and they put me on the waiting list. They called me like a week later but I had other obligations, becoming a substitute teacher isn't as easy as it looks.

[IncrediBULL]

can this thread get moved to the trough where it belongs?

I agree with Rezz....

[DontPushMe]

You know what background you need to be a substitute teacher?

A pulse.

It's true.

All you need is a high school degree and you get paid more for 30 credit hours of college.

Wrong. Im a sub, its a good part time job while in college. You need either an AA or 60 credit hours at a university. If you have a bachelors degree you get paid more.

Maybe sarasota is different, i work in pinellas county.

I had a HOT substitute in 8th grade. She was in her early to mid 20s and wore very loose fitting tops, and bent over a lot on purpose.

Ms. Gallagher.....*sigh*

Oops....looks like I posted this on the wrong board...my bad :/

But she was knowledgable...she was asking me about Selvie and Moffitt and Grothe. I was pleasently impressed. (Minus the Ford comment)

[___ Eats It]

Wrong.

Actually, I'm right (at least for Hillsborough).  Pinellas has more stringent requirements.  Then again, Hillsborough is the 9th largest school district in the United States, so they probably have a greater need for bodies.
