1. Are you only looking to sub in Charter schools?

Most of the public schools I know (I'm in northern NJ) are absolutely clamoring for subs and are so glad to have us (that's what I'm doing while I finish up my certification).

I won't sub in charters so I'm not sure how they are or what they are looking for. But I know at the public schools they will show much love and appreciation to anyone willing to sub for them.
