(Rhode Island) I actually sub to supplement my retired teacher pension. There is a shortage of substitute teachers throughout the school districts of our smallest state. Even charter schools are in need and advertise for substitutes. The pay throughout the state ranges from 70. to 100. per day with charter schools paying the highest amount. Most systems require an application be filled out with college transcripts and personal recommendations included along with verification of a criminal background check. For public school subbing, one must, also, have a substitute teacher license which is fairly easy to obtain. Retired (in-state) teachers can sub for ninety days while all others can sub for the entire school year. Many days in my school system there are sub jobs that go unfilled with the rest of the faculty getting "covers" for their duty periods in order to have all classes supervised.

We found more true Christians walking the walk in the public system.

Or are you going to tell me it's wrong for a teacher to pray for his students on his own time?

They had to shout "Nike!" and look at the ground if a girl walked by wearing short shorts, the girls could not go to the market or to get coffee without a chaperone, the kids were not even allowed to watch certain episodes of the Andy Griffith show, etc. So there was very little they were exposed to that their parents had to explain to them was not Godly. That's A LOT different from most evangelical Christians. Most of us allow our children to be exposed to the world in general and then try to teach and train them to think and discern and use wisdom to make the right decisions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-86584513359354492852016-10-08T03:13:55.459-05:002016-10-08T03:13:55.459-05:00His major was Business Administration not Accounti...His major was Business Administration not Accounting.

I understand Lily and Ellie that "good journalism" involves opposing opinions. However, this is not a newscast, it is a blog where likeminded christians used to come for fun and encouragement. The only thing different about this blog from the other horrible places is that you edit the profanity. But the messages of the majority of your posters is every bit as profane in their intent.

He can't go there and start witnessing or something, not on school time, not in any school-sanctioned setting. My local elementary school had a PTA president who thought it would be good to start each PTA meeting with a Christian prayer. She was quickly and publicly corrected! And believe it or not, corrected by Christian parents themselves, who were concerned that her prayer was inappropriate for the other religions in that school. (They were right - it was insensitive to assume all people present had one prayer belief, plus it violated separation of church and state.)
