I Tried Substitute Teaching for 30 Days 

Yes! I know exactly what you mean lol. I like teaching kids, but I don't want to be a teacher.

I absolutely agree. It can get extremely boring. But if you have a second work from home job or a side business, then you can do that at school 😆

What do you do now ?

@dianadelcid931 I'm an accountant now which can be boring but atleast I get to zone out and listen to podcasts/RU-vid. Can't really do that when subbing haha

Lol, you can't listen to or watch RU-vid as a sub, but you can read pretty much anything. But there is no growth as a sub. At least as an accountant you can go up the ladder.

I'm glad you feel better. I'm sure you'll be fine. Good luck!

How did it go?

BS. We, the real substitutes, can tell you horrors😂😂😂

​@@VB-lc4xzyes I agree with this.

@@GTA_500 TY!😁

Yes, that's why you should only sub in High Schools lol

You got the wrong school 😂

@@MrBons1Million Have you subbed at schools where they spit at you, cuss you, throw stuff at you, fight, or talk about anal sex during the class, make homemade bombs, put hand sanitizer in your coffee mug?? And the administration would kiss their butts and sign up with them, not teachers, because they are afraid to be sued?? That's their time to get back at adults and teachers when the sub comes in. Stop spreading nonsense.

Aww sorry for your rough experience. I do admit I am fortunate enough to have the option of picking good schools and avoiding bad ones. At least it works with your schedule 😁

Yeah, Aragon right? I sub there a lot.

Thanks for your support Elias👍😊

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not surprised to hear that there was discrimination against minorities. The sad part is that they make the best teachers. I hope things turn up for you. Maybe you can move to California and get a better pay for subbing.

Thanks, I'll try!

Thank you Jeff! Will do!

That's still not a bad job. At least you get exercise. I would never do it cus like most Asians I can't swim lol. Thanks for sharing your semi lazy job!

It is definitely a good side hustle, but it just depends on what state you are in. Some states don't pay very much.

No this is fake this is not even close to what subbing is like.

Thanks man! Much appreciated ☺️

I didn't mean for it to be an insult. I know first hand that elementary and middle school subs can be very difficult cus subs don't get support from admin. It can be like that too for high school subs, but it's often less (not never). And I don't go back to classes like those. My purpose for this video is to get more people to be subs so they don't get short-staffed and ask subs to do more than they are expected to. I usually choose the good school and classes to minimize riot control.

Thank you! I only get to sit on my break.

Thanks!!

Elementary school is a nightmare for me lol. Good luck with middle school. You should try high school sometimes.

Lol, I work in northern California. It's probably one of the highest in the country. The long term sub rate for my district is 410 a day. That one requires actual teaching and grading. And yes, if you actually do want to help kids, it is actual work hahaha

Nice. Yes if you are actively subbing and helping kids, it is definitely work. But if not, then you can just sit and do your side hustle. Canada sounds amazing. No employment insurance here in the states.

Thanks lol. That's why I avoid middle and elementary schools like the plague.

Yay!! Congrats Chris!!

Love you guys too!

Yes, subbing is best suited for people starting other side businesses so they can have a little extra income.

Yup. self employed and just applied to be a sub. Times are hard right now. Hoping this is an ez mode job. Mr Bons getting me hyped up.

Good Luck! Just make sure it's for high schools. Elementary school sub is a tough job.

@@MrBons1Million Yeah I checked k-12 but may tell them high school or jr high only if I end up doing it.

Yes. Smile and genuinely feel happy to be there even if it's for the first 2 min of the introduction. Just say hi and introduce yourself. Keep it short. Don't try to be the strict one cus that will just make it harder for you. Most kids will listen to you if you just ask nicely. Good luck

Thanks Felicia! I'm glad someone gets my humor.

hahaha Thanks Bilderburger!

I'm glad 😊

No you will get anxiety later.

@@GTA_500well, i didn’t! but thanks for your unnecessary words !

Yeah, they have block schedules so it's about 3-4 classes a day with longer periods. And they start later. Maybe you should consider coming to California lol

Probably, but why? Wouldn't the district pay more? I've had a job every day working with the district in California

Lol I'm not very well versed in the dirty deals of politics, but I'll take your word for it. And yes, I'm privileged enough to pick good schools and ignore bad ones. It's just not worth it. I completely agree with using your free time to do other things. It gives me the flexibility and mental capacity to do things I want to do. I've also day traded while subbing lol.

Congrats! You'll be fine. It's not really teaching 😂

Yeah forgot about teaching anybody anything they don't care. As long as you pass out the assignments and tell them what to do you did your job.

You should! They are always looking for new subs.

Hey @LuxuriousLane, I do not think school districts give health insurance to subs. You can always email the specific district to see what they cover. You should try it out. I think most school districts in CA are about $150/day or more. Good Luck!

@@MrBons1Million Thanks so much for your answer I was wondering one last thing do you think anyone can be a sub I'm good at teaching math problems but am quite poor as a writer. I've been good at teaching things like factoring adding fractions math up to pre Algebra. However when it comes to writing my writing is quite bad.

Anyone can be a sub as long as you have a bachelor's degree, that's one of the requirements. Many teachers don't pre algebra and you don't need to write essays as a sub. If you only do high schools, then you'll have a very easy time.

You can't have sound cus it's distracting. You can definitely study, but don't be watching videos in class cus if they catch you they will give you a warning. You can definitely watch videos during your off periods.

@@MrBons1Million that's cool thanks. It looked like you were reading a manga from the clip at your computer in the video.

Yep, I do that all the time. Just don't be too open about it. Go to another tab when an adult comes around hahaha

@@MrBons1Million lol nice! I'm studying for the cbest looking forward to finally using my bachelor's degree that I have yet to use. Thanks for the motivational video 😎

Good luck man! I'm sure you'll be fine. It's not that hard. Let me know how it goes.

Tried elementary. Never coming back there again. That place is a zoo.

Yes, you can get it waived with a few of the college classes you have already taken.

I'm usually working on my video scripts to film during my free period. You can do anything that doesn't make noise. Don't let the kids or other people catch you though lol

@@MrBons1Million That's cool that you can do that while you sub. Are you not supposed to work on video scripts while you sub or is this acceptable if an adult saw you? Wouldn't that be the same thing as studying which is acceptable to do when subbing highschool? Aside from studying is there anything else that won't get you in trouble if you're seen doing it while subbing?

@@MrBons1Million I was thinking reading manga would be fun but idk if I'd have to keep it on the downlow of if that's acceptable since it's basically reading a book with pictures lol.

Lol yeah, idk. I feel like they are judging me when they see that I'm reading manga, but a book is okay. Scripting is fine, but nothing with videos.

If you have a work from home job or a data entry job you can do that in class to lol

Lol asuratoon.com

@@MrBons1Million thanks! I finally got around to registering for cbest. I did well on the practice test. Thanks for making this video and giving me motivation to be a sub 😎

Good luck!! 🤞

It's in California. Northern California to be more precise.

You need to get out of that district. Are you talking about High school students?

Most school wifi aren't good, so you need to talk to teachers for a bit and ask them for the teacher wifi. Different school will use the same Wi-Fi pass if they are in the same district. If it sucks then I use my hot spot.

@@MrBons1Million I was reading on Reddit that if you're on the school wi-fi then IT department can see what your doing on the computer. Idk if it's true or not but if it was true I'd rather just use hotspot for the sake of privacy.

Very possible, but most sites are blocked and as long as you are not doing anything inappropriate, they don't check. Just cus they can check doesn't mean they will.

No, I work directly with the district. It should pay more than an agency.

Lol, no thank you. I avoid semi dangerous schools. Thank you for working there!

no thank you lol! We have a rougher high school in our district which I try to avoid.

Yeah, good decision. It's not worth it.

Hey Jason, thank you for asking. Unfortunately I don't make those videos anymore. But I will say that in order for Shiba Inu to get to $1 it would have to burn 99% of their coins and no one would do that. They wouldn't be able to burn that much with transactional burning. It might get to $1 in 150 years with inflation and burning together.

@@MrBons1Million 😂 nice can’t wait that long!! Thanks for the reply appreciate

I live in San Mateo in Northern California lol

Which part? I was talking about high school subs. Other subs actually have to teach.

@@MrBons1Million high school in your particular school in Your particular area. Try coming Florida and teaching high school I’d like to see it!

I have subbed for southern and northern California. Most of it is the same. I don't know how it is in Florida, but I usually avoid hard schools. Are there no easy schools in Florida?

@@MrBons1Million not the ones that have loan forgiveness programs. 182k in debt here masters degree level

Ugh, seeing 182k in loans makes me want to barf. sorry to hear that.

Lol, I sub at San Meteo Union High School district in Northern California. The cost of living is probably the highest in the country hahaha. Is $90 a manageable living in Indiana?

@@MrBons1Million , not really. It's a sub standard non living wage. I barely make it & have to rely on public assistance to get by. McDonald's drive thru workers make more hourly than we do. It's a crock really. We don't even get a cost of living wage increase each year. We need to get unionized, but we have too many old farts who sub who are double dipping earning money to supplement their pensions so that's what makes it hard to organize. I hope I don't have to sub much longer, but it seems like once you get sucked in and start substitute teaching it's hard to get out. It's almost impossible to teach fulltime without going in debt for that damn teaching degree (I already got one useless degree - don't want another one. lol) and there aren't many decent places to work in this Rust Belt town.

Wow, that sounds tough. What job are you planning on switching to? If you're up for it, I do financial consulting to help people better understand their finances. I wouldn't charge you for it, but I would like to record our meeting in case I would like to use it future videos. Are you interested?

@@MrBons1Million , I do not know. I have tried different things but nothing has stuck. Either the place closed or management sucked & didn't want to train me, etc. and I found myself out of a job. I would like to get certified to teach, but don't want to go in debt to do it. I applied for Teach for America, but got rejected with no explanation. (They say only 20% of apps get accepted & most people have to apply 2-5 times before getting in.) They said I can apply again next year. One thing that might work is if I can find a decent paying job than just do one of the cheap online school options at nite so I can get certified to teach. Thanks for offering to give me financial advice, but I live really frugal & am pretty financially literate. I just don't make enough money. That's my problem. They treat substitute teachers like we are disposable and as you said in your video there really is no career advancement once you start substitute teaching. I have a good summer job I love though & I bring in a little money on the side selling mostly new and vintage toys and action figures on Ebay though. So those are bright spots in my life. I imagine someday I'll find a job that doesn't suck or find a way to teach full-time and get a teacher's salary as opposed to making peanuts as a sub. I taught English abroad in South Korea. But honestly I'm too old now and I got a dog. I don't really want to teach abroad again. (Not at this stage of my life anyway.) Need something more stable than that.

Yes, it can definitely be tough to get paid a liveable wage. Maybe you can consider moving to California or another state that has more opportunities. I know school districts here need subs and they pay well. Consider it. I can help you get started if you decide to move. You can actually apply first and move after you accepted as a sub. Then you can figure out what you want to do when you are more stable.

You have to actually STAND & WALK AROUND. Subbing still seems lazier to me. And it pays more than Disneyland

I don't mean to insult subs, I know first hand how hard it is to sub for elementary and middle school. This video is for people who need extra money while figuring out what they want to do. I would never say it's easy to do elementary and middle school. It depends on your district, but I have gotten constant jubs from HS subs. Thank you for your work.

@@MrBons1Million Gotcha. I want to do it only for high school as well but it's hard to decide. Subbing for elementary school is a really nice feeling. You are connected to the students and you feel more like a teacher. In a kindergarten class, there was a teaching aide and she's much better at handling kids but she kept pointing to me as the "teacher" (guest teacher) whenever someone comes to class and I make all the decisions and kids have to ask me for permission to do things. I don't know where I'm going with this but I guess I meant to say elementary schools make you feel like a teacher, high schools, nobody cares about you.

Yeah, nobody cares, but that just means you don't have to care about them. I just feel bad for subs that try so hard in elementary school and not get paid that much. Consider making choices that is best for you.

Lol I showed it in the video but in case you missed it. It is the San Mateo Union High School district.

I sub in San Mateo Union High School District. Where are you teaching? It's hard for me to imagine teaching kids for less than 45k a year.

@@MrBons1Million I am in Tulsa Oklahoma.

@@pierrem4367what’s the average teacher pay in Tulsa? My sisters are both teachers here in California and they make around $90-100k a year, been there for 8 and 12 years, respectively. Busy cost of living here is higher than in your area. We are in central California.

@@user-tm5em4vu7u Tulsa average is $45k. Cant do anything with that.

It was an actual class. It was just my break period.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've been subbing for about 8 years now, on and off, and most of my experiences have been similar. I only sub for high schools and I only get hired by the school district so I don't know who Kelly is. There are definitely bad schools that I avoid, but I generally don't have any major problems because I don't pick fights with them by trying to be their boss. I try to reason with them and if it doesn't work, well, I only have to see them for an hour. It really depends on what schools you are working with. I like to go to the good schools. Where are you subbing from?

I was a high school sub in San Mateo Union High School District. Where are you working at? Elementary and middle school subs have to do a lot of work.
