Love the choices
Mar. 19th, 2010 09:56 amFriend pointed out to me this morning that Oakland is looking for teachers for the strike at $300/day. Wow. I could really use the money. But...working in Oakland, during a strike?
So, my first instinct is no, my second instinct is I really need the money, and my third instinct? Look it up. There is a projected one day strike, that may go longer. I have a friend in the district, don't know if he'd be affected, so it's personal. And they're not hiring, they're interviewing in case of a strike, to be ready.
Uh. Hmm. One day, $300 dollars...if it's true. Normal wages are $125/day. Subs don't get prep periods anymore. (Normal teachers lose theirs routinely so that the school doesn't have to call a sub.)
Pass. The downside of being strikebreaking scum is much larger than any money need, and the upside...there isn't one. There are some back comments about Oakland school district that I won't make here, but there are a number of reasons they need more teachers.
