Classroom Jobs

Did you get classroom jobs when you were a kid? We have classroom jobs and they are pretty fun. This gives you responsibility, and it sounds fun to have fake money in the classroom. Right now I am a homework checker. I check if people did their homework or not (obviously). There is 30 jobs in the classroom and some of them pay a lot, some not so much. Our highest paying jobs are president, bailiff, and vice president. They get $150 a week. Our lowest paying job gets $60, and the job is called extra hand. Most of the jobs are done in the afternoon, but homework checker and a few others are in the morning.

The money part of the jobs is really cool. It gives you a reason to do your job. You get fined if you don’t do your job or if you get in trouble. Most jobs get paid around $80 - $90. We are able to use the money to buy/auction stuff in class at certain points of the month. So far we aren’t getting paid, we are just getting used to what to do with the jobs, and remembering to do them. There is a lot of jobs. There is desk monitor, mail carrier, paper passers, floor monitor, pencil pilot, and so much more! It helps out the teacher a lot. Without the classroom jobs, our classroom would not run so smoothly and would be boring.
