Answer 1

As a substitute it’s very rarely your only income. I also work as a bus driver and my husband works so it is just extra money for things like vacation or remodeling. In my district after you get accepted by the board of education, you personally give your contact information to each school you wish to sub at. So if you only want to work with grade school kids you only give your information to the P-6 schools.
