I'm just curious because teachers are human just like students. i'm a 19 yr old female in college. but in high school i had this little weird period when i think this female teacher had a thing for me and i did too. i just felt the vibe but it was just one of those things i think about and laugh snce nothing would have happened anyway...

I'm doing a project about math in careers. I chose to use a math teacher, and get the easy way out, but we needed to get sources to use for the project, one of them might being internet. I looked on google and on yahoo answers but because it is so obvious, it isn't anywhere. if someone answered on yahoo answers to my question, it would count as an internet source. Please answer. If you have a website I could go to it would be a lot better. Please Help!!!

At school we use Mavis Beacon, and I really like it. It has lessons, teaching you about home row, etc., and then rewards you with a game if you do well. I want it to have lessons and stuff like that. The thing is, I don't want to pay much for it. I need it to be $15 or less. Please help. He is so slow and it drives me crazy! He is a teacher and needs to know how to type right. He is what people call a "hunt and peck" typer. Thanks in advance! Let me know if you have questions.

I'm probably gonna be a teacher. sometimes teachers do stuff they're not "qualified" for. for example, my math teacher taught drama, with the help of an english teacher. I'm going to teach business classes, but I'll be a black belt before I can teach. Will the high school I go to let me teach karate? Before you say it teaches kids to fight, yes it does. I won't argue. I know how to punch and where 2 kick. but it's been shown that people who do martial arts are less prone to violence (well, little small kids are the exception) I've gotten in fights in the past, but once I started karate, i haven't fought and walked away each time. but will the school let me teach a karate class? at the end of the semester they'll have a test, it'll cost $20 if they wanna go up to orange belt, otherwise it'll be free.

Lately i have seen alot news about teachers having sex with students,I think this is wrong!Think ahead a 13 years old boy having sex with a 30 years old female teacher,But what if it would be a 13 years old girl having sex with a 30 years old male teacher? does that sounds justice? I don't think so..Teachers should respect the students and learn them things they need to know..Can Anyone tell me what you think?Is this wrong?!

Kindly tell me ..What do you mean when you say ....?

1. People who speak English as their first language are not necessarily aware which sound for A they are using when they use or read a word they have known. Of course, they are literate, whether they can explain the phonics system or not, because literate means capable of reading.

2. Quite simply all those irregular verbs - it's like we don't have a standard verb . It's most definitely the biggest stumbling block to learning good English.

I will soon be giving a presentation to high school students who plan on a career in education. My focus will be on positions/options that they might now have considered/heard of. Examples: wide variety of opportunities in Special Education including Assessor, Speech/Language Therapist as well as careers outside of the school itself such as Educational Law. Also classroom positions teaching curriculums that don't exist in all schools such as Hospitality.

Are you one of these educators? Can you help?

I have 3 questions: 1. Position title 2. Brief job description 3. Training/experience required.

My husband and I disagree on teaching our kids to read music. He wants to make a treble staff and teach them that the lines and spaces are a, b, c, etc... I told him I thought that was wrong that he should teach them that a note on the line or space was a, b, c, etc.. Are we both right? I just don't want to teach a kid something wrong that will confuse them in their music lessons in the future. He is all mad at me for saying he was wrong in teaching them this so I want to know if I am wrong so I can go apologize. Yes that's right I'll say I'm sorry for being wrong! lol

Hello,

This is (name not used) from your Integrative Seminar Class last semester. The class took place on Monday and Wednesday from 8:00 - 10:00 am.
I have noticed that my mark stands at "Temporarily Incomplete" and I do not understand why. The semester has been over now for weeks and all my grades have been submitted by other teachers.I believe strongly that my final assignment was handed in as well as makeup work that was not completed properly at the beginning of the semester, we had discussed this earlier. Having said that, this was to be my final semester at Dawson College and I had been given a conditional acceptance to my next step of education. Unfortunately, the acceptance has been put on hold due to the fact that my Integrative Seminar Course remains at a below passing mark. The mark stands at Temporarily Incomplete and I thank you for giving me the time to continue to hand in assignments after the semester had ended rather than just giving me a failing mark, for that I t

Personal experiences would be appreciated.

Do you form closer bonds with your students at highschool because they are more mature? Are teenagers harder to control? etc etc

I was recently thinking that being a teacher could be a really good job.

1. You get so many holidays
2. You could change someones life or your atleast making a difference which is kind of fufilling
3. It would probably be a good experience and you could learn a lot from teaching kids

I have a student who constantly changes her hand to write. She is only 6 years old.
I was told that she was born left handed and her previous teacher forced her to write with her right hand. Now, sometimes she would change from the left to the right (vice versa) while writing a single word.
She could spell all the words wrongly using her left hand and when i immediately ask her to switch to her right, she got everything correct.
That's not all. Sometimes she writes letters and numbers in the opposite way, eg: N, B, S, 5.
Another amazing thing, she can write a whole list of words in mirror reflection, ie: the words would appear upright in the mirror. - without knowing that she wrote wrongly.

The main issue is: she is very slow in recognising words. Is there a term to describe this kind of behaviour? This is some sort of a gift but how do I make her use only one hand to write? To improve her learning speed?

Thanks.

I swear I'm not a freak or pervert. I'm a very mild mannered, first year second grade teacher. However, I was disturbed because last night I dreamed that I was teaching and one of the kids in my class smirked at me. I told her to wipe that smile off her face and she didn't so I smacked her twice.

Then, I looked around the room at other kids doing their usual misbehaviors and i started hitting them as punishment.

One child was like, "Ms. L, you can't hit kids!" and I was like, "Whatever!" and I popped him on the hand.

I know its just a dream, but I was pretty upset when I woke up. Should I seek counseling?

Hi all,

After searching fruitlessly for hours and getting nowhere, I'm putting this question out. I plan on attending a Quebec university to obtain my BA/BEd (or both, depending on the university). I'm still unsure whether I want to teach elementary or secondary, and want to know if holding your brevet d'enseignement automatically qualifies you to teach at both the elementary and secondary school levels regardless of your BA/BEd background.

I'm stuck on fence, as Bishop's University, which is my first choice offers a two-step, four year program that leads to a BA/BSc with a double major in a teachable & Education (HS) or in Educational Studies (Elem.) and then a BEd. Would I be better off going the secondary route (English) or the Elem. EDU if I am unsure?

Thanks!
