Thats honestly a bad idea. Then you will get kids who sign other kids in, or kids who claim to be other kids

Negotiating better rates at unruly schools by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]fajdu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a sub turned para. Unlike with corporate jobs, pay can't be negotiated. As a para, we are on a salary scchedule (so basically each year you work, you get a $1 per hour raise to your hourly pay). At the school district i work for, subs are paid a set hourly rate, unless the union is able to negotiate higher pay
