"As I stated earlier , the pay isnt that great and they dont guarantee you will be working everyday. But Im not doing it for the pay only.

It took me awhile but I was their number one substitute teacher. They would call me and I would work."

I do not get any benefits and do not get paid when schools are out due to inclement weather. For 7 hours, it could be very challenging to deal with children as some of them are very disrespectful and a lot of times you just work constantly and just get half hour break."
