Would You Teach School For Less The $21,000 A Year?

PSD Looking For A Few Thousand Substitute Teachers
Kristen A. Graham, Inquirer Staff Writer

"The firm hired to staff Philadelphia School District substitute-teaching jobs has a pressing need: hiring 5,000 qualified people, as soon as possible...

Source4Teachers is offering a daily rate of $75 to $90 for uncertified subs and $90 to $110 for certified subs, whether they are retired teachers or not. The company offers health-care and retirement benefits, which were not available to substitutes under district management."

My Comments About The Article AboveAlthough the minimum number of days Pennsylvania students need attend is 180, most teachers are required 187.5.

Doing The Math
At the $75 a day rate times 187.5 days this equals $14,062.50.
At the upper rate of $110 a day, it would equal $20,625.
      (That's assuming a substitute would work every one of them.. WHICH THEY WILL NOT)

So I Repeat.... Would You Teach School For Less The $21,000 A Year?
