Posted on: Substitutes head hundreds of classrooms

It is so depressing to think I am also a Highly Qualified teacher and I can't find a job either. I have a teaching application on file with CCSD, I don't understand why CCSD doesn't pull from their teacher applications for their long term subs. I have a teaching license in Nevada and I have a Substitute teacher license. Which doesn't seem to be doing me much good.

I'm sure there are plenty of us out there who would be willing to work as a Long term Sub just to get in the door. Most of us would love the opportunity to teach.

When I asked about being a long term sub, I was told by CCSD that I had to have a sub application on file. So here I am filling out the same paperwork, giving them the same information, paying them another $51 to do a background check only to have to sit back and wait when I could be teaching!!!

All this paperwork and everything getting done twice when they could have just checked across the hall and found all the same information.
Yes, they are different departments but they should consider working together to get things done. What a waste of time and money!!! Mine and CCSD!!!!
This could have all been fixed by placing one more box on the application which says
"Would you like to also apply as a substitute teacher?"

Then CCSD would have a list of teachers who would be willing to be a substitute teacher if a job is not available.

Posted on: Smoking ban not doing all the banning its sponsors hoped

As I read some of these comments what I'm seeing is that as an adult I can't go to a bar because they allow smoking and I'm not a smoker and would rather not inhale others cancer causing fumes. What about the people who work there. Who have to work at these establishments but doesn't smoke. Who may not be able to get another job, they have to quit because someone else refuses to quit. These, waitresses and bar tenders will have to inhale others fumes, and possibly die from second hand smoke because someone insist they have the right to blow smoke in the air.
Will that be part of the requirement to work at bars and casinos now....you must be a smoker?
It all comes down to this. Smoking is unhealthy, not only for the smoker but for those around them. Smokers are playing God by insisting they be allowed to smoke and be allowed kill other around them because they can. I say no.
The people of Clark county have spoken by passing the law, now we just need the elected officials to enforce it. Or we as voters should find someone who will.
