Teaching - August 2006

I am fully certified to teach in two states. In one state, I worked in a Catholic school teaching 7th/8th grades and for a charter school as a Resource Specialist. For the last 4 years there, I worked as a substitute teacher, but was unable to hire on as a permanent teacher. Because of the limited opportunities, I moved from that state to another. I came mid-year, passed all state required tests, passed the background checks, and worked here as a substitute teacher at all grade levels.
My name was submitted by a principal for a 5th grade at his school. During the interview at the district level, one person (who has the yes or no approval) stated repeatedly she was concerned about my lack of "actual" teaching experience. Nothing I said could sway her. Another troubling aspect is they are willing to hire recent graduates with only Student Teaching experience.
I am male, 48 years old, completed teacher training, graduated with honors, and this is a second career.
Any opinions/advice

She knows what is right & wrong but she will always does the opposite way. How to teach her...? Don't ask me to put her in child-care centre as her grandma disapproved it. I have already put her in the play-group.

This link shows some of the children's are work, my comments, and their final grade.
Parents thought I was too harsh being that the students are so young, but I dissagree.
What's your opinion?

It's not 'fink' it's think. It's not 'fort' it's thought. I suppose 'fink' will become part of the dictionary in the not too distant future.....I get annoyed that people who have good speaking voices are considered 'posh'. FOR INSTANCE Susie in BB and Joana Lumley who both speak beautifully.
'I fink vat all skools shud b shut dwn who dont teech or spk proper inglish'.
P.S. Dialect accepted ...... I am not asking for everyone to be Susie or a Joanna but 'give me a break' the whole nation seems to be sliding into a grammatical abys

How much money do you earn as a teacher in your country? (please give in US dollars or euro if you can)
And how much is this in comparison with the national average or for a decent living?

I personally threaten my students with an in-class call to their grandmothers--and put them on the phone. Next?

0 think detentions dont work at all!if u just sit there u well think of something else and stuff! also its peaceful and some make u write the rules but that gives u something to do and my son was in it once and he found it very peaceful! and i dont find it as "punishment"I think u should pick up trash or do some handy work and then sit in a classroom.or mabye face the wall in the classroom standing.
sitting down is too comfortable.
also they can make u do something people dont like to do, as in get gum out or like if they are bad in pe, make them do push ups, sit ups, run and repeat.
so what do u think?
and if u do they should call their parents, then that well be something.
and i think they should give corpal punishments(signed by parents of coursse) only if,if they did something very bad, and only with the princple.and have to be same sex if the are spanking u. lol
what do u think?
suspenion gives u freedom(what some kids wnat)
in-house lets u draw or read all day
etc.

I never questioned this until I saw what it looks like from the outside. I was never a model student and I never took into consideration how tough teaching can be. What drives these people to want to put up with a bunch of teenagers all day long?
