6. $100 per diem for a SUBSTITUTE teacher.

More if you're a contracted, tenured teacher IN A UNION.

Reminder to all that without unions, ALL teachers would be making $100 a day. And FWIW, sometimes I work harder as a substitute teacher b/c until the students get to know you, they don't necessarily trust you and respect you as an authority. Especially the upper grades. Subs are truly dedicated as a lot of us return after the class has told us "Good riddance" at the end of the day.

And they won't tell you what subject or grade level. This society is so disrespectful to LuckyLib Sep 2020 #7

To be fair, they tell you on regular requests for a substitute. no_hypocrisy Sep 2020 #8
