I'm just not sure if I get the English degree first then work on a the teaching part or what would work best. I really would just like more info in general. And I'm interested in mainly just the Literature side of things, not so much with the general English language teaching.

In Pennsylvania, the ESL Program Specialist License doesn't become effective until one completes another vaild Instuctional I or II license. I am pretty sure this is not the same in every state. Does anyone have information about this? Also, in states where another certificate is not required, which tests are required for the ESL license? I have a master's degree in TESOL but am unable to teach in PA without another certification. What do I need to do? Your help is greatly appreciated.

American schools are not preparing kids to survive on the street. By the end of 8th grade, kids should have had business math and general OSHA regulations. They should also have had enough life science to know how to take care of their body. We are making kids quit school by forcing them to learn subjects they know they will never use. We should be asking kids what do they want to learn.

My problem is with my Math B teacher, Mrs.Chelzer. I'm a senior in high school who had a 94 GPA last quarter and a 93 GPA the quarter before that. The quarter, the 3rd quarter, I was absent an entire week. I had a severe respitory/ear infection. I even went to school one day and was sent home sick. All that week, I called in for my schoolwork, but unfortunately, the office secretaries never gave Mrs.Chelzer the sheet to fill out what my homework would be for the week. Now I'm back in school and grade books close next week. I owe 10 assignments [average of 2 a night] from when I was absent. I found out what assignments they were and I completed them at home, like in any other class I owed worked in. However, when I went to hand in the work, Mrs.Chelzer said that she was unable to take it and that I "Have to stay after so I can complete the work in front of her." At my school, a student can only stay after Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Can she do this? I know she hated me from past arguements

I'm from Scotland but i now live in B.C Canada and i'd like to be a high school art teacher. Art was the only subject i enjoyed at school. I know the pay is poor and the work is thankless but only four things in life matter to me:

My family, my guitar, the love affection of a beautiful and kind hearted woman, and motorbikes.

Yes that really is ALL i care about and want in life!

So canadian teachers! I ask thee:

A: When does the school day begin and end for you? How much free time do you get to spend with your loved ones and motorbike* (*or the equivalent thereof)

B: What does a canadian teacher earn each week (on average) Can you teachers comfortabuly support your familys, pay the rent/mortgage, bills, and run/insure your motorbike*? (or equivalent thereof)

C: I have a tatoo of flames around my right arm from my wrist to about 5 inches below the bend of my elbow and i ride a motorbike. Would they let me near the building or would i be too much of a... "bad influence"

I teach a seminar on global warming and pollution at a 4-year college in Boston. I thought "Who Killed the Electric Car" might be an interesting movie to show my students, but does the movie's condemnation of GM and American politics make it inappropriate?

Btw, the viewing would be optional as I am planning to show it on a school holiday.

I am in 9th grade and I am 14 about to be 15
I have heard so many people say that teachers put their thought and feelings into what we learn
and I never comprehended what they ment until now
Why do teachers say that they dont have room to be creative with what they teach but they then turn around a teach us their thoughts and feelings
like with the war in Iraq, or the Bush administration, or the vietnam war and they even twist shakespeare
I just dont get it why they dont just teach the facts
have you seen this
I think the teachers should just teach us and let us think for ourselves
the teenage population is already messed up we dont need teachers projecting their thoughts into us and using us as puppets
what do you think about teachers putting their thoughts into the curriculem
I really wouldn't have a problem with it if they taught all sides of the belief but they dont?
what do you think

I am planning on holding a study skills workshop in my university residence - but I need a more creative name for it than "study skills workshop". Students will be learning effective study habits and eating tips for exam time. Help me out and earn points! :) Thanks!

I've been working as a teacher merely for five months. In general, things are going well but, there are times that some children don't understand and I can't help thinking that may be I'm doing something wrong. Other times I feel that may be I expect too much of ten year old pupils. And every time the lesson fails to live up to my expectations I feel discouraged and disappointed. I'm doing the best I can but the results do not always satisfy me. What should I do?

I've decided to become a doctor no matter what..I do realize that this pre-med road will be difficult..

I have a twin sister, and she and I always have the same classes ever since we were kids. She helped me with my homework and studying for my exams..She reminded me what homework is due on what date..I helped her with the same thing also..

Now we're both in college, and she chooses to be a speech pathologist while I want to be a physician...

I'm scared that I won't be in her classes anymore, and she won't get the opportunity to help me with my homework because our classes will be different..

What if my GPA will go down if she isn't there to help me? What if I'm a big loser without her in my classes?

I'm scared that I might not get through this pre-med road on my own..I know I sound immature..but I can't help it..

I guess I'm scared of doing this pre-med classes by myself...

What should I do?

I'm just curious. I know that most teachers do not get high payments and they have to deal with obnoxious and rude students, so why did you dedicate yourself to this job? What do you like most about it? Was there ever a time when you regretted choosing this job?

I am doing some math problems but cant figure out how to do them because there are no examples in the text book. The problems are: 9x^6+12x^4-6x^3-3 divided by 3x^2 The number after the up arrows are exponents. The above problem is divinging a polynomial by a monomial. The next problem is dividing a polynomial by a binomial. 6x^2+3x-7 divided by 3x+6.in the next few problems i have to simplify the expressions. 5y^2 multiplyed by 3y^5. 5a^4b^7 over 15a^5b^6. 3y^3(4y^-4). 12x^8y^-4 over 3x^3y^6. I have been trying to figure these out but im stumped. Can someone help?

if their is a student in your class and she never answers question, and is always quiet to you, what is the first thing you assume about that person, and what kind of music do you think they like? and how do you think they act to other people other than teachers

i will be graduating next month with a BA in psychology and sociology, i have been very interested in going into teaching-i love the idea of montessori school for my own children but i'm not sure about being trained to become one or a public school teacher.
i feel like in a way (if i go through montessori) i will be throwing my education out the window.
i heard the pay is less, but it will take less time to complete
and since there are more public schools then montessori will it be harder to find a job if i go through montessori
any suggestions would be great espeically if any one has expereince.
i live in michigan
