Teaching - September 2007

But he himself hasn't taught anything, he just tells us assignment we go off and do it (we're doing Btec National Diploma Business (3 A levels)

They were arguing over a basketball game. Boy1 pushed the other. I saw the pushing, hurried over, and was already stepping between them when Boy2 pushed back. They probably would have kept it up because both boys were angry and yelling. The mother of the boy who "pushed back" doesn't feel he should have a detention. I told her both boys were acting in anger and even though her son didn't push first, it was not a defensive move. I was already on the scene and her son had to move forward in order to push the other boy. Both boys are in 6th grade, so it's not like they don't know better. I have a conference with the angry parent tomorrow morning, but I feel it's important to make the detention stand. Any advice would be appreciated. By the way, I'm brand new to the school, so how I handle this is especially important. Up until now, everything has been great.

Another year of applying for multiple openings for teachers only to be ignored or have my experience discounted.

I have been substitute teaching mostly in elementary grades in several school districts. I have a good reputation and I am requested by many teachers for their classrooms when they are gone. I can't spend another year without benefits and better pay trying to prove my dedication to teaching.

My turning point was when an HR person made the statement that I was not considered for a position because they were concerned that I have too many years as a substitute teacher - the implication being that if I was any good, I would have been hired already. Several teachers with only student teaching who had just graduated were hired. Some of them haven't even passed the state required tests (they have up to two years after being hired). I have passed all of them. One has a mother that works as a teacher in the district.

Any thoughts?

I'm looking for a place to take piano lessons in the Westside area of Jacksonville. I'd prefer to go to a studio than have the teachers visit me. I recently moved here from Jersey and I took lessons at De Bellis Music Center for approx. 3 years (Since 7th grade). My teacher taught me a lot and was simply amazing. I want to receive a similar education. My friend takes piano lessons from a place that sort of smells like cat urine --- um...I'd prefer not to. Where is a good place to learn piano?

I work with three-year olds in the afternoons. The lead teacher, as I come in to take over, gives me a list of items to clean, turn around and also tell parents related information. I don't mind the later part of discussing things with parents about their child. That is a teacher's job. I think, some of the items on the teacher's list are menial, such as watering her plant. There are some things on the list during her shift she doesn't accomplish and this draws bugs. How do I tell her in the best way that she needs to sweep the floor and clean out the microwave before I arrive? That could help both of us. Mopping would help too. She is by herself as well as I am, someone could bring it for her. I want to get along so much not just for us but for our jobs as well.

I was a sub in a hs classroom today. I was showing a video. I need to put the captions on the tv. I wwas at the tv without the remote. The remote was not useful in getting the captions on. Somehow one of the students took the remote and kept stoping the vcr. I thought I knew who had the remote, but was not 100% sure. I tried asking the student who I suspected had it. I also asked students I felt I could trust who had it. No one knew. I was told after class who had the remote. I left a note telling what happened for the teacher. What should I do if this or something similar happens in the furture?
