I'm currently an English teacher certified in NYS from grades 7 - 12 and would like to tutor part-time. How do I get started? I am home raising my kids at the moment and word of mouth is difficult. Flyers at the supermarket and libraries aren't really working. Any ideas?

Considering choosing this as a major but I have several reservations: 1) as a nurse, if I don't like a patient, he/she will be discharged soon and out of my hair. With teaching, I'm stuck w/ that kid every single day for 10 months. 2) the pay 3) the politics in education. I understand there's plenty. Feedback please.

I am interviewing in NC, but am from PA, so I am really not familiar with the standards. All my student teaching was done in 6th grade and this interview is for 3rd grade. Only 4 people are interviewing for the position to start end of Jan. I am SO nervous, so any help at all would be truly appreciated. All my college buddies haven't interviewed at all yet, they are depending on me to let them know how it goes.

I currently teach local kids in my village to play the flute, but only on a fun basis as I do not currently hold the qualifications required to enter my students for any examinations. I would like to be able to enter my students for exams, but am having difficulties finding out what qualifications I require before I can do so?

It is exam week, but in two of my classes, the exams don't start until tomorrow, and we've already gone over study guides. Yeah, yeah, I know I'm the teacher, but I am not feeling creative today. I am looking for something they can sit quietly and do.

I am an American, my husband is Canadian. I'd like to keep my options open for teaching since we'll probably jump between living in the States and Canada. Rightnow I'm in the research stage for becoming a teacher and trying to decide where to start the education to become one. Would I be able to teach in the States if I got a Canadian teaching degree or vice versa?

Okay, I'm a student in high school and I have this really awesome guy for my history teacher. We're into the same books, music, movies, etc. and I just love talking to him because he's so funny and irreverent. I don't have a crush on him (too old for me! *lol* ) but because I'm a senior I won't be seeing him as often as I do--every day-- and that made me sad.

What are things I could do/suggest for us to become better friends outside of the classroom, not just a student-teacher relationship, that wouldn't get him or me into trouble? Should I just wait until I graduate before bringing anything up?

I really don't want to lose contact with so cool a person or grow distant, so I need help!!

Something that is not too messy and that doesn't take up a ton of time.
Thanks!

Question for current teachers:
I recently graded student papers for my class and I was surprised at the amount of errors in their work. This is a college level class. While it is not an English class, they need to demonstrate appropriate English usage. How flexible should I be when grading their papers?? The errors were in almost every category: proper captialization, verb conjuncation, grammar, punctuation and spelling?? And how much should I deduct for these types of errors?
