Recently turned down 5 long-term sub jobs because I already filled in for 4 during the last school year, and it is simply a lot of extra work without any additional compensation. Today the elementary school requested me for 2 months because a different ESL teacher (from the one I covered last summer) is due on July 13. Agreed to do it because the kids are sweet and I would want someone to help me if my parents brought me to a strange country where I didn’t know the language and they needed me as a translator. Will probably kick myself in the bus loop at 4 pm every day in the sweltering heat, but it’s a living.
