Insufficient Training - Criminal Prosecution Very Possible Over Nothing!

Substitute teacher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility is the best part.

Cons

Teachers are now presumed to be all criminals. ESS fails to provide training to address this anti-teacher hostility. Parents will complain about everything and involve local cops. These cops have easy jobs sitting around and watching video all day. They will invent crimes that don't exist to make parents happy. Teachers are getting criminally charged for walking down the halls during break, talking to students before school, giving an honors high school student a small piece of candy, etc. Avoid Bucks County PA like the plague. The DA is a fascist. ESS does nothing to protect its employees. If you take this job, be sure to join the teachers' union. You may need the legal insurance and support of the union, even if you disagree with its politics.
