Substitute Money

Image via Wikipedia I have worked in the Atlanta Public School system for quite some time as a substitute. The substitute game has had its good days, and bad days, but the number one problem I think is the substitute money that most subs are being paid at this moment. Now, Atlanta Public Schools used to pay really good money a 175.00 dollars a day, which was great pay for a certified susbtitue teacher who still wanted to be in the profession without being in the politics of education.

I think Atlanta Public Schools has really messed up there budget money, and now they are taking it out on the subs by reducing the substitute money. The school system is now paying them somewhere between 10.00-12.00 and hour and thats not enough when your dealing problems inside the classroom as a regulgar teacher. I think that the substitue is just as valuable as the teacher to the clas and APS needs to really look at increasing the substitute money they are paying the subs for an honest days work.
