Teaching - January 2007

I'd like to become a secondary school teacher, and have been looking into the methods of becoming one. My degree is in English with a writing focus, and I have taught English as a Second Language for the past couple of years.
I'm apprehensive of going through a teacher certification program, because I don't think it would fully prepare me to become a teacher.
I've looked into Post Bacc programs and one of them requires that I pass the Praxis II before even starting the program. Is that common with a lot of Post Bacc programs? It seems kind of backwards to me.
I'd like to get a Masters in Education some day, but I wouldn't want to jump into the deep end right off the bat. Argh I'm so confused. Anyone have any advice?

If a child turns in a homework assignment in late and you are only taking a completion grade for it, how do you grade it? Do you take points off, have them miss recess, etc.?

I am thinking about doing that teaching thing. I'm from Ireland and have just finished a degree in Forensic Science, am now thinking about doing primary teaching-a PGCE course, which would only be one year, but on a website, I found that you need a QTS as well-I don't know what this is. Is this another course that I'd have to do. Is there much employment for people with PGCEs?

I am looking for an ink stamp that says "read but not corrected" it's mostly used for teachers. If anybody knows where I can find it please let me know the website or the store? If you don't know of this kind of stamp please let me know of a website where you can create stamps of your own.

With all the new rules and standards from the Gov. all the teachers I know are close to burnout. My question to those in that situation is, what tasks would you be willing to outsource? (that wouldnt get you in trouble of course.)
i.e. Grading papers, Cutouts, Posterboard setups, Packet fillings, Photo Copies. Would you be willing to pay $25-$40/week or $5-$8/day with a 48hr turnaround time?

I'm a trainee teacher and I need some lessons which are original rather than narratives, completing stories and plots.

If you were in the class, (adults), what would you find fun and interesting?

I need some websites that allow free printable reading comprehension worksheets focusing on inferences, higher-order cognition, understanding meaning using context, and figurative language. Are there any good ones you can recommend? I have a 6th grader in my class who is having trouble with these areas and needs extra practice. Thanks a lot! :)

My wife wants to teach young children in the U.S. and we were told that she needed (apart from her B.A. degree) additional 16-24 ECE credits. We want to make sure that the school is accredited and provides distance learning opportunities.
