OK so it is now officially summer and all the schools are out around here. Part of me is thrilled for the break as many of my fellow teacher's are as well. One thing keeping me from being overly excited about summer is, there is NO WORK in the summer! During the school year I stay pretty busy as a Substitute, but it is the summer time that is a killer to all Substitute's. Contract teachers actually have a payment system they have set up so they earn less money per paycheck so they can continue to get paid during the summer hiatis. Substitute's don't have that option. Many are asking me about summer school, that would be a miracle if I could have gotten into that. Most summer school classes were canceled this year due to budget cuts, and the small number of teaching positions for the summer school classes that are offered, have gone to the teachers that were pink slipped (lost their jobs). Therefore that leaves me with having to fill time with other jobs during the summer, cause even my Tutoring jobs take a hiatis in the summer. Their were almost NO summer jobs available anywhere this summer! The one Club I was suppose to teach at this summer left me hanging until I finally couldnt wait anymore and had to go almost full time at the part time job I have had for a couple years. Luckily the part time job I have during the year at the retail store is working me close to full time! THANK THE LORD for them! If it wasnt for them I would be making NO money this summer. I have a great boss as well that works great with my schedule! I get paid considerably less than I do Subbing, but hey its something, and luckily September will be around the corner in no time.
