I have been teaching junior high for two weeks, and I hate it. Can I quit immediately, or can they sue me, or something, for doing that? I'm not sure where a copy of the contract is. I just wondered if someone had any experience with quitting a teaching job at a public school and could tell me how it works. Thanks.

I recently obtained a teaching position, in math, that starts Tuesday. I have no teaching experience and majored in history. I'm great with math and have no trouble with understanding any of the stuff, but I'm having trouble figuring out a general time line for the year. Granted I know that whatever timeline I pick will not work and things will get pushed, but I'd like to have some idea. Right now I'm working on my integrated math class and trying to plan. There are 13 Chapters in the book (it's a 9th grade basic math class basically). I KNOW I won't get through all of them, and was told by the math director to expect to get through 7-8 of them. Each chapter has 8-9 sections. How long should I be spending on each section? Any suggestions for figuring out a tentative schedule will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks :)

I'm interested in getting my credential but i've heard that once you have your master, it'll be harder to find a job. Because you will be overqualified for the position. Is this true?

I heard somewhere that boys and girls develop physical and mental skills at different rates. With this in mind, is there an argument for staggering their educations to take this into account? This may even out the current disparity in examination results.

Student in my class -mentally handicapped, great kid in 8th grade, and have known him for 2 years now. Attends school regularly, clean and with appropriate clothes until a few weeks ago. Now he doesn't have dinner, clean clothes or showers. Found out they are homeless again -they've gone from motel to motel, and mom refuses a shelter b/c of the rules. Big sister is pregnant (17) and not in school. Brother works to help with rent. Mom expecting a check at end of the month. Child says they are smoking pot, and he leaves because HE knows it's wrong. Ok, seems clear-cut neglect, right? I hesitate to call b/c I know they are a close family and this is the life he's known. Not sure he'd be happy without them, or understand why he couldn't be with them. Also, we take care of him during the 7 hours we see him shower at school, clothes, food, etc. I doubt he'd still be at our school if DCFS was involved..I hate the thought of him in foster care....but is that better? Do we wait and see?????

Several of the Canadian Language Benchmarks (starting around Benchmark 5) require your adult students to understand the inferred meaning in different texts. For example, if your friend says, "Those pants look good, but do will you be able to sit down comfortably?", your friend probably means your pants look too tight. If a commercial for weight-loss pills shows a woman who lost 100 pounds in a week, and the ad says "Results Not Typical", this probably means that those results have a 1% chance of actually occuring with normal use.

I would have assumed that these "innuendos" would be the same in all languages. Assuming they aren't, what is the best way to incorporate them into the curriculum? Is it possible to devote an entire class to "inferred meanings" or is it something students have to learn on a case-by-case basis through the course of their other studies?
