I am a Jehovah's Witness and therefore don't celebrate any national holidays, but "when I grow up" I want to be a kindergarten teacher. I already know FOR SURE this is what I want to be and have helped out in elementary schools to make sure it is the right thing for me. Now I am just wondering how I would deal with the issue of holidays since I know they are a big deal in the younger grades.
Any kindergarten teachers out there who can give me some advice?

I am a trainer at an Outsourcing center which employs approx. 600 customer service representatives, and I am trying to find some new motivation for the training classrooms. Since my students are adults, (the average age range is 26- 38) , I am having even more trouble finding new ice breaker and / or games that get the students motivated. If anyone could suggest a site or training material that i can order, I would really appreciate that.

I've written an essay and it was corrected as wrong article in "a special friend".
Can't understand why.
I've learned to put "a" before consonants and "s" is a consonant and it's pronounced.
It's not like "hour" where the "h" is not pronounced.
Can you clear my doubt, please?

I am in college and we are doing a survey on classroom environment. What would you prefer to have in your / your child's classroom? One has suggested a swimming pool. It would benefit the children, teachers and community with lifegaurds, of course.
If your school had the money to fund a specific program, buy new equipment, etc. what would you want them to buy?

This question is mostly for teachers, but I would appreciate answers for parents, students, and administrators alike. What would you do to change the school where you work? Would you change scheduling, class size, curriculum guidelines, etc.?

A neighbour of mine is teaching students from his first floor maisonette. We constantly have kids hanging around outside the house and people sitting in cars waiting to pick the kids up. They park where they like and it's not very nice to be glared at going in and out of your own home. I have spoken to my neighbour on numerous occasions but with no joy. He is in a rented home so I am not sure he should be allowed to have students in there?

Where is a good place to shop for textbooks? Like, physically browse through them and make an informed choice?
I'm deciding on a summer program for my summer school students and I thought it would be a nice idea to introduce the entire curriculum to them in the summer.
Therefore, I'm searching for the best textbook to teach and have them learn from. If anyone has any experience in this area, I would appreciate any advice you guys have.
I also live in the NYC region and I'm having a hard time finding a place to shop from. Internet shopping is nice but its difficult to judge the content and depth of some of the publishers.
What do you guys think of my dilemma?

please see me previous few questions to get a good idea but basically there is a debate on how much partial credit to give to a correct answer but with an incorrect number of significant digits. basically, he didn't follow the directions exactly.
I want to have some solid quote from either articles or w/e voicing opinions on this topic.

The younger kids are so sweet and fun to teach, but the older kids have more patience, although they can have attitudes. With the older kids I would only have to prepare 1 lesson plan 6 times. What do you teachers think?

i need to know some good things to say when their child didn't follow directions on a test and now they are complaining because the child was only following what his previous teacher told him.
isn't following the instructions on the test the most important thing to go by?

I have seen that one can insert their own information which would seem to me to compromise accuracy. If this is true why is it considered as a reference?

expressed in degrees to 8 decimal places. Lee's answer is 28.7770 degrees. You deduct 2 points out of 10 for this only partially correct answer. Travis complains, and says that his/her last year's teacher, Mr./Ms .Oakley, told them that, when using the calculator, they must use exactly four decimal places, no more and no less. Travis goes on to insist that if s/he does not get full credit for this problem, s/he will go to the principal and/or parent to complain...
-How do you handle the situation with the student?
-How do you handle the potential situation with parent, colleague and/or principal?
-Do you agree or disagree with Mrs. Oakley?
-Do you think following instructions on the question is more important than listening to former teachers?
-isn't the calculator only approximating cosine by some kind of series representation?
