I realized I am late in posting but keep in mind the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah just took place and there is a lot to do for preparation!
Because of that I am sort of cheating with this posting. I didn't take it on September 30 but it is something teachers must deal with day after day: coverages. If a teacher is absent and there is not enough work to warrant an official substitute (or teachers are amenable to helping students in a way that a traditional sub could not) we are offered the chance to cover another classroom and get paid for it. Each teacher must do one coverage for free each semester but after that you can get paid for them - around $37 for the period. It's not the best money but it is just compensation for something that can be difficult. Luckily, I knew most of the students in the room so it was not so bad that day.
