Teaching - November 2006

I have a 8 year old son that is having alot of trouble with reading, he is 2 grade levels behind. We work with him at home at school and he is not catching on. We were thinking of enrolling him into Sylvan Learning center. I have only heard two mixed reviews on it, So have you ever been there or heard anything about it. Let me know, cause it is $50. hour..OUCH... Is it really worth It??

I am a new teacher who received her master's degree in education. I am finding that the school districts in the area are descriminating against master's degrees. I am wondering if getting additional middle school endorsements would make a difference. I'm not sure who I should ask for educational advise.

I need some activities using math software to simply take up some time at the end of a class period. It doesn't have to be anything detailed, just a simple activity. Maybe something using Geometer's Sketchpad?
