I have a friend who got a DUI back in Dec 05 and she's still waiting for the appeal to see if she loses her license or not. We were wondering if having a DUI (if she loses her license) will this disqualify her from becoming a teacher in New Jersey?

If the theory that Television burns brain cells is true, then why do teachers make students watch educational videos?

Jo is ten-year-old fourth grade student who is completing the fifth year of school, including kindergarten. In many ways Jo is a delightful student: bright, keenly perceptive of others adn their feelings, and has a very good speaking vocabulary. According to the fourth grade teacher, Jo is capable of performing above grade level. Social studies and science are special interests. Jo is currently reading at the end of the third grade. Jo has difficulty completing independently; much of the "seat work" is incomplete. Penmanship is nearly indecipherable. Spelling has improved dramatically this year with much work on Jo's part. The teacher is concerned that as the requirements for completing work independently increase, the amont of work Jo completes will decrease. Close monitoring and supervision are required to combat Jo's distractibility, daydreaming and failure to complete work. A review of Jo's cumulative file supports the accuracy of the teacher's perceptions regarding

I am starting on parallel lines and transversals, labeling interior, exterior, alternate interior and exterior, corresponding and vertical angles - as well as supplementary and complementary angles. This group of students loves hands-on activities and I want a fun game we can play to review these angles before their quiz. They are freshmen in high school - so remember they really haven't seen this stuff before. Any ideas? Thanks!!

I am a diploma holder and I enjoy teaching, but now I'm not sure if I should just be a full-time tutor to primary school students; or go to NIE to study and become a full time teacher. Any one in NIE or a full-time tutor to give me some advice?

They seem to be teaching their own a different set of employable skills.

2007-02-03 15:30:29 · 2 answers · asked by Anonymous

Skimming and Scanning, Comprehension Checks, Annotating,
Determining the Main Idea, Drawing Inferences, Critical Evaluation

I know the skills that need to be taught; but, what's a good way to go about it?

The school where I teach follows the textbook without much imagination or creativity. I want to go beyond what the flock is doing? Any suggestions?

There are growing concerns within our educational system where one must question. How competant are our teachers in the school systems? Do you think that the problem with incompetant teaching stems more from:

1.) Ineptness in subject matter
2.) Lack of personality
3.) Student Favoritsm
4.) Seniority
5.) Burn Out

The growing trend that I observed in my school district was that many teachers were often rewarded on the basis of seniority. The more years that you put into the system, the greater likelyhood that your school will keep you on the faculty. But how knowledgable are the teachers who have been on the payroll for 20-30 years at a high school or college? Why is it that college science professors all look to be about 80 years old and like to create exams that are almost impossible for students to pass? I think students should have the right to use teacher evaluation forms and that teachers should be given competancy tests to see how well they know their stuff.

Islamophobes in my community continue to hold protests at the local elementary school concerning the State's approved textbook for 7th grade students. At issue is the textbook's depiction of Islam, which doesn't address their hot button issues. Specifically, they believe that the state has a responsibility to teach that Mohammed was a pedophilic, blood-thirsty, Jew-hating misogynist, and this - along with suicide bombings and public beheadings - is what Islam has to offer the world. Where the state has failed, they are there with their leaflets and signs, to make sure children are properly educated in their version of the truth.

While I'm not about to validate *that* message, the very real role Islamo Fascism plays in world affairs cannot be ignored interminably, so at what age does this subject get introduced?

Personally, I think they should take their protest to the state legislature, and keep their distance from the rest of us decent folk not spreading hatred.

I'd like to become a high school teacher someday. Do you think I'd be better off in elementary? Do you regret working at a high school? I'm expecting bad attitudes and catty girls. Do you like teaching teenagers?
