And I'm also a stay-at-home wife, which is a blessing but feels odd because we're supposed to be stay-at-home Moms, right? I too would like to find a flexible job for a little cash (perhaps substituting?)

I was scratching my head thinking, well if they are certified to teach, wouldn't they have their own classroom teaching full time most likely? I am not that up to date on the current job market for teachers here, but as long as I have ever been around teaching (my whole life since my mom was also a teacher) there has ALWAYS been a need for good subs. Go figure!

I would like to think I was a really good teacher when I did it. I do love the kiddos too (middle school is my favorite) but there are so many things about full time teaching I DON'T miss. I figure subbing might let me have the best of both worlds....time with kids, extra $, not much responsibility after hours, or commitment long term.
