Yes especially as I may have priced myself out at my current company and now as I face a layoff other companies are offering a lot less for the same roles.

Yeah but not overly paid, but salaries are diving

Yes, but sometimes I think it’s in my head. But the weight of those “ handcuffs” do keep me tied down here.

Subs! Internal subbing is draining the life out of teachers. The sub schedule comes out at the last minute bc of so many teacher absences. It’s the split classes in one period (1/2 Gen Ed and a Special Ed class) Teachers on a cart. Subs pick up students and deliver students. Class changeovers take 10 minutes bc of the domino effect. We’re all waiting for next sub. Teachers are late for their own classes. Students are in chaos with rotating subs. We pay $100 a day. Is the Solution in plain sight?
