They did away with building subs because they wanted benefits. They were paid more than daily subs. Any way I didn't want to be a building sub for the same reasons you aren't happy. I like to be able to choose the subject and the teachers that I sub for. I wish you luck finding a job. McGraw Hill sounds like a good option. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
