Aesop- Help Please??

by Paula

Feb 8, 2010

This is going to be very long. I had old computer and it wouldn't go online anymore. Got new computer 2 weeks ago, waited until today for high-speed internet to get to my install, download Jobulator, go to email and WHAT? I've been removed from districts because I haven't been able to get sub jobs? Doesn't 100+ phone calls for jobs mean I didn't wa...See More

Linda I received the same email yesterday. I have been removed as sub from 2 of the 3 districts. It's like, WHAT?? I know I subbed in some of those districts in the past fall, but for January I've been "lazy" and not looking so hard for jobs, since it's been so slow. It's very hectic trying to get up at 5:30 am. shower, go frantic getting ready in case y...See More

Terra I wrote PESG as well on this issue. I have been long-term subbing since December, and therefore have not been available for other schools. The e-mails I received for the multiple districts stated that since I have not subbed in that district this school year, then the school district has removed me from their list. I find this hard to believe, sinc...See More

Jobulator negatives continue...

by sofipoo

Feb 11, 2010

Another mystery I wonder about: the nameless unavailable "Oz" person behind it all. I tried to contact them a couple of times, out of curiosity, to find info, such as problems with the widget itself, if the fee covers a full year from the month of startup or by school year only, etc. There seems to be NO ONE there! So where does this David reside? ...See More

Pam I'm not connected in any way with Jobulator, Frontline, or AESOP, but I'm a sub who has researched Jobulator. The $40 fee covers 1 full calendar year (365 days) from the day that you subscribe (with a pay subscription, not the free trial). This is clearly stated on Jobulator's website.

Sub Union

by TCHR

Feb 13, 2010

Has any of the subs thought about forming a union? It might be a way to negotiate to get the changes that you would like to see. I can certainly say that the union certainly has done a lot for teachers.

Missing MI Michigan Learnport has been a savior for me in getting SB-CEU's to keep my MI certificate current. From what I've heard, most states LOVE MI teaching certificates-at least GA and TX did.
