Good idea Brian. A "sub" really does not do any teaching. They simply keep
the students quiet and occupied, until the bell rings. To be a "sub", you
only have to be one notch above the students mentally, since most are morons
and not the least bit concerned with learning anything. And to top it off,
the pay for "subs" is much more than starbucks or some pizza joint.
