Hi, I am thinking about what career I want, and was wondering, if I want to be a college prof. what degree will I need?, I was thinking about a B.S in Business, and then a Masters in it as well. Will this qualify me to teach? Or will I need to take educational courses as well? I am sort of on the fence between teaching college or elementary (grades K-6, I would have to get a B.S in Early Ed.). If you could include salary comparisons between the two I would appreciate it. Thanks

I'll graduate in the Spring with an NJ teaching certificate. But I think I'd like to move away from NJ. I really like CT, and I've thought about teaching there (possibly boarding schools?) but I'm not sure how much trouble I'd run into trying to get a job without any CT certification in addition to the fact that I wouldn't have the 20 months of teaching experience required to get a certification in CT. Anyone have any thoughts?

I've read and heard comments lately about how no one wants to hire someone with a Ph.D. since it would be so much money, and getting one is pretty much killing your career. My goal is to teach adult education (college), but I'd like to hear what Yahoo! users think about it.

I've noticed that many different teachers assign MANY assignments each night....what's your theory on why they assign so much crap for us to do until the middle of the night or later?

I think that geometric proofs should not be taught in high school. I think that geometric proofs should be taught only to those majoring in math. Math departments should spend more time helping students solve for x in terms of word problems, searching for missing angles in geometric shapes, etc.

Geometric proofs do nothing more than scare students from developing love and interest for the world of numbers.

Your view?

Currently I'm a senior in high school, and I've done a lot of thinking about my future career. I've finally decided that I want to be a high school history teacher. My question now is: What do I major in? I obviously should know a lot about my subject, but at the same time, I also need a teaching certificate. So what do I get exactly? A history major or a major in education?

On next Monday I am going to start a new semester at High School as an English Teacher.

Unfortunately, I did not have any resources to plan my first week... this was due to several factors, including null support from school authorities and the English Department. Anyway, I need to focus on my next move.

I will have two groups:

1) One of first semester students (1st time they take this course) Average Age: 16

2) The other of third semester students (they have been in this course for one year) Average Age: 17

In both cases, the English level is ADVANCED, and they will be prepared to take the CAE of Cambridge University.

I have found out a warmer already for my first semester group (this will last one day) but I do not what to do during the rest of the week with both groups, meanwhile I am waiting for my teacher’s book as well as the students receive theirs.

Any ideas about what to do during my first week? I will appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Okay so the last question i asked...it needed more details.
Lets say this.
A teacher doesnt necisarilly has a....'crush'...on the student, but enjoys their company, likes their personality. Maybe if the student was older, they would be the sort of person they would date, but wouldnt think about it because of the law ect. [and yes they keep their thoughts to themselves and only sees the student as a friend]
No i am not writing a book haha, but its always been something that ive wonderd.
I dont think my teacher has a crush on me either, although we are very good mates out of school as well as in school.
Same sort of personality and we like the same things, hes good looking yes, but i have a boyfriend and he is happily married, but ive just been curious and would like to hear any stories ect about likeing 'personalities' [nothing illeagal.]
You hear about students likeing teachers..now i think its time to hear the teachers side of things!! =P

Hi everyone!

Well I need some advice. This semester I'll be teaching Spanish classes weekly at a daycare center for 30 minute sessions to 2-5 year olds. I have never taught Spanish to children besides my brothers and well I've given catechism classes to children in Spanish. What are some good activities to make the language fun and exciting for the children?

I have to make a curriculum and I have a mentor, my college Spanish teacher who will be providing me with tips and advice as well, however I would appreciate any additional ideas.

Thank you,
Yvette V.

He use to make of my name. I think he is doing this to fill in some kind of void of insecurity about himself/and was picked on when he was young. he made fun of it and I was very embarassed. And he made fun of others. Whenever I went to his class i got a panic attack EVERYDAY.

well I took an ap physics C exam yesterday and my teacher put it on the board. My vision is pretty bad but i was able to make out 2 of the 3 problems. But the last problem involving a graph, i could not understand at all! i couldnt see the graph. It was too blurry for me to actually picture it. The other questions were words so i was able to depict what it was askiing. She went over the quiz after we took it and as i thought i got the last one wrong. I sit in the front too! :(.i really need glasses and they're suppose to come in a week..but i dont have a week. Also i have no clue what to do about my exam. A 66.66% is NO WAY acceptable. I really dont know how to approach my teacher about this and ask her if i can re-take it on paper..a different version of course..Can you please help me? What should i say to her? OR how should i explain my problem. OR sHould i just leave it alone and wait for the next [i really dont want to do that though]..ADVICE PLEASE!!
How would u go about it?

why they keep hiring teachers at the University that can't teach, and even though they get complaints from students about their teaching, they keep them regardless what. why? don't they see how frustrated the students are with this? isn't not enought that college expenses are so high, that they have to provide us with teacher that actually fair and know how to teach?

now i am thinking about online education, as it seems it has more clear instruction of what to do, and the book can be better than all these teachers who can't teach.

I'm a brand new teacher. I was just hired at the last minute so my anxiety level is already high enough as it is, but after being told that I would have 21 students in my first grade class, I looked at my class roster and found out that I actually have 32! Not only do I not have room to accomodate them, but I don't have enough supplies nor can I teach that many little ones with no help. It's ridiculous! Isn't this illegal?!

I'm interested in primary teaching and I know a sense of humour is important. Has anyone got a few examples of this to show me? I also need a line to envoke humour to add to my personal statement.

Any help on this would be great, thanks guys
