Teaching - November 2006

i'm in grade 11 and my english teacher resigned last week and suddenly the school asked ME to become a temporary substitute teacher for my class. starting next tuesday. english is not the first language in my country so when i said english lesson, i didnt mean like literature or anything like that, but i sould be giving lessons about tenses et cetera, et cetera. god knows i'm bad at it. and those students are my friends, for god's sake, and i know i'll feel strange teaching them. and they'll make fun of me for sure. i really don't know what i'm supposed to do. any advice? thanks, anyway :)

I tutor undergraduate students but I want to do it for free. I have reasons for that, for example to have more experience.
Now I hesitate to tutor girls for free since they might think I like them.
What can I do?

This is my first year teaching, and I'm with 3rd grade students who are low academically and socioeconomically. Teaching these students is very difficult, but I find the demands of the TAKS test, special services, pull-out schedules (library, science lab, peer tutoring, content mastery lab) to add to my enormous load. Aside, I have a teamed coworker who physically beats on me in various ways leaving bruises, emotionally abuses me constantly, and goes through my desk drawers. I have alerted my principal to this but he says she isn't going anywhere because her student's always have high TAKS scores.
Im miserable. I thought I wanted to be a teacher but I am absolutely miserable. Is the field of education like this every where? I need advice. Im pregnant now and I really need to cut down on my stress level.

I don't know about where you are...but I'm in Australia and to me it seems that these days they concentrate on the wrong things. I know so many young school age kids who don't know their times tables yet have been taught how to put a condom on. (Using a banana in class) I think this is just a bit wonky...what do you think?

I am in a liberal school. I have traveled the world with my family and have had experiences in which these professors express knowledgable opinions. In doing this , they are misleading other students and those students take this so called knowledge as fact. I have and can back up my positions with FACTS when asked why I disagree and rather than discuss it , these so called educators argue when the only backup they have is from other liars as themselves....why do universities allow a lie to be taught rather than a truth????? It is their reputation at stake.

I have several very narrowminded teachers that do not want to hear my side on issues. I have offered to bring newspapers from other countries as well as photos, videos) They are extremely liberal teachers/professors/lectureres - who have worked in controlled academic environments. I have traveled with my family throughout the world and my father has worked as a consultant and worked through wars delivering supplies to countries and he has been a consultant for movies. Yet, my teachers are not interested in details, (even when documented with newspapers or photos from those countries) How do I deal with this narrowminded group of educators. This is also turning my friends against me.

This was a complex relationship between Indians and settlers, therefore what children are thaught is not WHAT really happened.Is not teaching them to hate their birthplace, is to teach ;TRUTH.Is in history books ,that the tribe suspected the settlers of robbing Indian graves to steal food.Also is a good way to nurture critical thinking.We owe it to all of us to come out with the truth.

I always know University offer course such as economy, management, chemistry, phsycology, math. They teach peoples all that so peoples could be expert in those field. Why don't they teach people to be expert in how to get rich.
