Hi all,
I am planning to serve in my local school District as a SUBSTITUTE TEACHER this year.
I have "tossed around" many - many ideas of how I should PRESENT the lessons.......... so the kids will WANT to learn.
I am advised by the local administrators and teachers "Oh, just follow the lesson plans that the teacher should leave for the class. - That's all."
I am one who "thinks outside the box" by nature. - How / if should I prepare my ideas to inspire the students to learn?
Thanks.

Yesterday in my new bio class we were taking about melanocytes and skin color and races and migration, etc. So my new teacher (who I think is Jewish, but I'm not sure) points me out in class & says I have "a typical Jewish phenotype." I don't know what this mean aside from the fact that I have dark eyes & hair (I am 1/2 from Italian descent), although my hair is pretty straight & my skin is pretty fair.

I have nothing against Jewish people but somehow I felt really embarrassed & everyone looked at me.
Am I wrong or was he wrong to say this? Thank you. btw I was raised Catholic & I'm an atheist, just fyi.

If the child is not left behind how else will he learn anything? He will surely be left behind and be behind for the rest of his life! I think it's a govt monopoly and it does not work!

I have a research paper due for both Eng. Comp. and for Biology, would there be anything ethically wrong with submitting the same research paper for both classes?

• There are some skills that virtually all people use every day. There are some skills that only few people have, but all people should master.


• Think about a skill that most people do not have but could benefit from mastering. Why would people benefit from having this skill? What are the consequences of not having this skill?

Give me as many palindromes as you can and for those of you who don't know what a palindrom is, it's a word, phrase, sentence, paragraph, or story where the LETTERS are the same forwards and backwards...

I plan to double major at San Francisco State U (History and Chemistry) once I get out of high school.

For my first six years I will try to get into the History Honors Bachelor's program and the Chemistry BS program

If I maintain a GPA of 3.7 or close to a 4.0, score high on the GRE exams, is it possible to transfer to a UC (Davis, LA, Berkeley) for my graduate education?

My sister decided to put my nephew in pre-school this year instead of kindergarten b/c he won't be 5 until after school has started. I have asked a lot of people about this and have received answers both ways. He is used to being around other kids, he has cousins in literally every grade in one of the local Elementary schools, and his baby-sitter always had a lot of kids at her house. My sister is worried about him not having the social skills, but I just don't agree. Kindergarten is for getting used to raising your hand before speaking, learning the basics, and getting used to school. I'm afraid he will be bored in pre-school and not do well b/c of that. He already knows the alphabet, can write, can count to 100, knows his shapes(even pentagon, octagon, trapazoid, etc). Any input?
