Driving a school bus is not a complicated job, but can be quite stressful due to having too many kids packed onto buses to realistically control effectively. Since starting work here the transportation department has been pretty much perpetually understaffed with bus drivers. Major counties around us have increased their pay and drivers have switched to those counties. Meanwhile Forsyth County seems to think keeping what they are doing already is the best course of action even though they clearly hurt for drivers. The health insurance is good compared to other jobs, but that's usually how it goes with government jobs, the insurance is the best part. I have liked the job overall because I grew to love the kids I had on my bus for a long time like they were my own kids and enjoyed interacting with them. Last year due to Covid though I lost every one of my routes I had for years due to them shuffling routes around. You can do worse when it comes to getting a job but can also do better at least when it comes to pay. Most of the downsides like favoritism and other things are probably about the same anywhere you work. Beware though if you mess up they are quick to throw you under the bus, no matter how long you've worked without incident and been loyal and reliable.

FCS is one of the highest-performing school systems in GA. The students are very respectful and eager to learn. Front office staff are helpful and genuinely glad that you are substitute teaching. School lunches including iced tea may be purchased for approximately $3 for adults. Parking is confusing at most of the high schools because of a variety of factors: many student vehicles, multiple parking lots spread around the campus, and unmarked/hard to locate entrances to some lots. On your first visit to a school, It can be hard to find the front office or sub check-in area due to the layout of some schools and/or the lack of signage or clear instructions in the job posting. Middle and high schools are large, and it takes some time to learn how to navigate the halls. It is fun to meet new people all the time as you sub around the county.

Productive and fun workplace

On a typical day, I check in all students, collect binders with change of dismissal notes etc..  During the day, I taught small group math and reading centers.  After lunch, the curriculum was focused on whole group activities, such as writing, science and social studies. I have learned to be ready to change things in a moments notice.  I have found that traditional methods do not work with all students.  A school is the perfect setting to be a team player.  It is crucial to the development of a child that all parties work together to promote the best education for a child.  It is important to have open communication between the teachers, the parents and staff  administration.  The hardest part of the job is seeing children who struggle and get lost in the system.  The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing the kids enjoying school and seeing their personal growth.

The hardest part of the job was dealing with a team who did not collaborate well, an administrator who only came out of her office to do reviews and look for problems and I did not feel a sense of relationship with anyone I worked with.  I was teaching new content in a new district with new people in a new school.  Despite my efforts to make the best of it I went back to teaching middle school where we work together each week.

Working at West Forsythe High was enlightening. I loved my coworkers and students. 
The hardest part of my job was not having a lab to myself. There were 4 teachers sharing a kitchen which made it hard for my students to have the lab time they needed to be creative. We always felt rushed. 
I am a morning person and love starting classes by 7;15 in the mornings. Starting at 9 and ending at 3:40 did not give me enough time to get outside work done. 

I learned patience, and how to work in a close environment with others. The most enjoyable part of the job was either hanging out with my students or coworkers. They knew how to make me feel at home and showed me how to relax while at work.

Between being a parent of kids in Forsyth county schools and also being an employee, I don't think I've seen one miserable teacher since I started working here, which is fantastic! Despite all the challenges facing educators they continue to be happy and thrive. The support from administration is incredible, and they always know how to make you feel appreciated. School culture in Forsyth is very close knit, and the teachers are knowledgeable resources for those looking to merge into teaching from assisting positions. This job has given me much more hope for the future of my teaching career than all of my prior teaching jobs in the past 3 years. Forsyth county makes me proud to be a teacher!

As a Substitute Teacher, you can accept or decline any job opportunity. When you set up your profile and preferences, you can choose what grade levels you want, what subjects, and which schools you want to sub for. Once you know who you are subbing for, you can reach out that teacher directly, to introduce yourself and see if there is anything special you need to know about his/her classes, students, what they will be working on etc. This is especially nice if you are fluent in a foreign language or have a gift for music, and can be more hands on in helping the kids work on their assignments, etc. 

A typical day at work includes instructing children in different educational activities. I learned patience, skills to instruct children and how to be a productive member of a team. My coworkers were crucial in making the work environment safe, caring and giving to the children they serve.

 The hardest part of the job is seeing some children struggle to learn. The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing the progress each child makes by the end of the year and feeling like you have made a difference in the life of a child.

I love working for FCSS.  I was able to work with multiple grade levels, therefore gaining lots of experience.  I learned that each child is different and you have to modify your lessons to reach each individual child's needs.  I love people and always form close relationships with others.  The hardest part of my job was dealing with all of the different personalities that children have.  No two children are the same so each child needs services geared just for them.  The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing the light go on for a child who has been in the dark because they did not understand something.
