Answer 1

People don’t become substitute teachers to make a reliable income.

To become a substitute you get a background check, and sign up to be on the list along with all the other basic employment documentation. You get called if they need you / want you, and if you do a good enough job they will call you back later. If you didn’t do a good job, or they caught you logging into your account in a swinger website while you were babysitting the special needs class, they wont call you back ever.
