The experience I had today is the exception but that's by design (on my part).
I LOVE subbing for the little ones and the older ones. Having said that, I have had a lot of experience with kids. When I was young I babysat all the time. Also, I'm really good with the youngsters and the older kids (9th-12th). It was a process though - trial and error. I've been doing this since 2018, and I've weeded out a lot of schools that I simply won't go to (including elementary and high schools).
I don't know what state you live in but in California, one needs a Bachelor's Degree, have a passing CBEST (California Basic Education Skills Test -Math, English, and Writing) score, and taken emergency credential courses (but they aren't a big deal at all).
Thanks for your input. I think I made the right decision to stay and am already feeling better...
