I have a Geography teacher who is very mean. He's a sexist, he says all of this bad crap about guys and says girls are gods gift from heaven.
He is old and my 6th period teacher.
On friday we had a substitue. our teacher threatened if we got in trouble with a substitue then we will be screwed. He cusses us out but can't be fired because he's been in the school system to long to. THIS IS 7TH GRADE PEOPLE!!!
On friday the kid next to me pointed at the kid in front of me and said "Look he has a yellow spot on the back of his shirt"
i looked at it and nodded. the substitute (who also happens to be the ISS teacher) noticed this.
At the end of the day i was leaving his class and i was told to sit down with 3 other students. He took my name and now i am getting lunch detail (cleaning table, mopping, being made fun of) for a week. I dont care about that but i'm afraid about my encounter with this teacher Monday.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
by the way i missed the bus on friday i was held after.

Its late and still have to think about some spelling activities this week. I know some good ideas, but need something to keep a group occupied independently without much of an input.. Something different. Have used 'wordsearches' and they are good at making their own, but there must be a good book with some other interesting activities already prepared!

Do schools in your area still teach that Christopher Columbus discovered America, and that the U.S. has never ever lost a war? What do you do when a student comes in with proof otherwise?

(I just ask because I remember when I was told that, but I am Native American and I know my people were here before Columbus... And the U.S. war thing, even I knew that was a little off from the truth.)

College sophomore. I recently switched my major from nursing to elementary school teacher education and was wondering what are some of the things i should expect from the profession. So far it seems like the most satisfying thing anyone can do, teach and i'm very excited and passionate about it.

I'm 16 and work at a preschool. In the afternoons, however, there are also some kindergarteners and 1st grade. I'm in charge of them. There are usually about 5-6 kids in my group. I've decided that I want to do themes. All the activities we do will be based on those themes. For example, if the theme is nature, then we'll do some word games having to do with nature. And we might go on a nature walk or something. Things like that. I need some more ideas of themes. I have quite a few like sports, animals, nature, circus, etc. What are some other possibilties I could do? All answers would be greatly appreciated. Best answer with most good ideas gets 10 pts.

Hello,
I'm French so sorry for the mistakes.
I'm a student at university and I would like to become a teacher of the English language.
My own experience tells me that language teachers do get a foreign accent when they speak their mother tongue.
So here are some questions about that:
How to get a foreign accent (I mean permanently?
I mean, if I speak English for example 4 or 5 hours a day which will happen later on when I'm a teacher, is it "enough" to get an English accent in my native language?.

And another one:
How do you get rid of a particular accent, or try to take one accent?
This counts for short changes (films...) and for definitive alterations in one's accent.
I have a German accent in French which bothers me a lot, that's why I'm asking.

Do you think it's better to keep your original accent when yu are a language teacher?

I'm talking mainly about TV evangelists. Don't they have better things to do than to clog up the airwaves using donated money that could be used to help the sick and/or hungry people of the world?
I'll look for your answer(if any) at my e-mail yahoo ID [chrisj94558@yahoo.com].

Thank you in advance for your careful consideration....

Could i please have brutal honesty answers.i want to know the truth.Thanking everyone in advance

I know each state is different for education, but right now I have a bachelor's degree in journalism and can't stand the profession. I'm interested in teaching either writing or speech communication at the secondary level. What steps do you think I would need to do this?

I'm a first-year teacher, so as expected I've been second-guessing EVERYTHING I've done in my classes for the past month. Yesterday I was giving a test (Algebra - mostly sophomores and juniors) and while walking around the class I noticed that one student had a piece of paper in his desk with all the necessary formulas for the test. I didn't specifically see him using it as a cheat sheet. But it was positioned so he could glance down and see everything on the sheet, and I didn't see how it could just be a page of notes because all of his other stuff was UNDER the desk - that was the ONLY thing positioned in such a way to make it easy to read without being detected. I took the sheet away from him and gave him a zero for the test. Now his parents are all upset, and saying that I WANTED to give him a zero. I don't feel like I'd be helping him by allowing him to get away with it, though. Should I give this kid another chance?

It is a teachers duty to conduct themselves in a manner that is respectable at all times. If you decide to tote a gun to school how could you possibly promote positivity when you go to work everyday thinking this is the day that you might have to use your pistol. You are coming to work in combat mode not ready to teach. It's time for you to find another job because this is not the job for you anymore. In the process of your irrational thinking you are endangering our childrens lives because what if your pant's or skirt isn't tight enough to hold your pistol and it drops to the floor and go off and shoot someones child in the chest, what if you leave it in your desk and forget to lock it one day. Guns are not a place for school, school is the second safetest place to be in the world with your home considered the most safe. Get yourself another job, school is not a battle ground so you should not be preparing for one. What's your take on this issue?
