I'm sure teachers get tired of the same old candles and "teacher" gifts. What is something that is useful for a teacher?

As a high school student, I am strongly opposed to the teaching of evolution in school. Not only do I think that they are teaching us lies and using false "evidence" to get us to worship "science" like they do, but things like origins of people and the earth are up to parents to teach their kids. I believe in God and the word of the Bible, so why should the school system feel free to trample on my beliefs and teach me otherwise? They say creation can't be taught in school (on that note, I think neither should be taught in public schools, but if they teach evolution they should have something about creation in there too), but in teaching evolution, they are imposing their beliefs on us, and while it may not be religion that they're teaching us, to them, evolution is their belief, and we shouldn't be forced to be taught science's beliefs. (I refuse to call evolution science and refer to its support as evidence.) Anyways, if you got this far, how do you feel?

What do you do if you are a 25 year old female temporary substitute teacher in a high school and

1) A 16 year old student winks at you. Can he be taken in for disciplinary action or a stern warning ?

ii) A 14- year old male student tells you that , " Teacher, you are even more beautiful than my girlfriend.". What is his intention and that exactly is that statement suppose to mean.

Can both actions by these students be taken as a light joke, or are they liable for disciplinary action since I am their teacher. And what sort of disciplinary action ? Stern warning ?
Detention ? Suspension?

Is there a set of rules or a code of conduct that teachers and students must obey when it comes to stuff like this in a public school workplace environment?

Minus the paycheck.

And please be creative with answering this because I have already thought of common moral lessons that [rarely] happens in Real life like...

-Because she realizes that from her class there could be more proffesions that will eventually come out of her students and that she is the one who is guiding them into that proffesion.

-Because, she sees her students graduate and feel that all her suffering is rewarded, somehow.

-Et cetera.

+ I've already started her character. She is an architecture student who didn't finish her course because she keeps on failing it yet she likes the course but since she's been draining out her parent's money, she decides to transfer to education and became a teacher to help payback her parent's money. She hates being a teacher. She doesn't like the paper work and all the attitude of her students since they make a lot of noise. Now, she wonders why do some people likes [to be] being a teacher?

*Please be detailed A.S.M.P.

These are ESL students with pretty high fluency, but they aren't familiar with antiquated language and I don't want anything too hard to understand.

A teacher reprimanded my 5 yr old for playfully kicking her sister after school. According to my daughter in HS,the teacher was nose to nose and toe to toe with my 5 yr old while yelling and pointing. My HS daughter tried to remove my 5 yr old from the hostile situation when the teacher touched both of my daughter's and snatched their hands apart. My 5 yr old was 'bout in tears. I requested a meeting, documentation of the purpose of the meeting, and an apology. The Principal promised to take care of this and has failed. I now get the run around and or she's too busy. I am in the process of writing a letter to the Superintendant or should I address the board?
This happened a month ago and last night my 5 yr old daughter said to me, "I'm still mad at that teacher for yelling at me, I want God to punish her." It bothers me too. I feel my children were violated and I wasn't there to protect them. The school encourages respect, responsilbility, being safe and kind. NOT! What should I do?

I don't know about other schools, but ours has a problem with vermin (roaches, snakes, mice, spiders, etc). So naturally I am very strict about being neat with food in the classroom.

At our school the kids eat breakfast in the classroom. Today I found a juice carton in the coat closet cubby, opening. HALF the juice had spilled all in the cubby.

I was angry because not only will this attract more bugs to our room, but whoever did it should have either told me or cleaned it up, not just left it there.

I don't know who did it, so I told the whole class they have no recess.

I also told them I know who did it (i really don't) and if that person doesn't confess, they're going to get into even more trouble.

They are sometimes very handy for classes. Do you have to order them through a specialty retailer or something?

Introductory film production class in college.

Her general policy is if you hand in an assignment on time you can re-do it for a higher grade.

I have been late in 3 assigments and she does not want to give me credit for any of it. I had to talk to her for 30 mins in order for her to give me credit for one.

The thing is, the other 2 make up 5% and 15% of my grade. She says she will not accept my work for credit but with other students (who burnt their film and coudn't hand it in on time) have an open ticket to turn in the assignment.

Is this fair? That will be 20% of my grade?

In basic middle school classes, its unusual to find a teacher who 'curves' the grades. The students need to know these basic standards and if they have not learned them, they cannot pass the class. But when you get into advanced college classes, more courses ARE graded on a curve. The material is so difficult that the professors just push a ton of information on students and see how much they can swallow. It wouldn't seem to fair to fail all the college students. So the question is, in general, should grades be curved or not??

The second improvement is no more after-school tutoring. Tutoring is good to students who feels need to study. However, in Korea, educational system is to getting rely on the tutoring rather than school. That's the problem so students don't focus much on school instructions, but focus much on tutoring because if students have a good teacher with tutoring, then it may be more helpful than teachers. With tutoring, students have to pay a a lot of amount of money for Educational system. To improve this system, school exams must be easier. Korean schools only take mid-term and final in a semester.

THe first improvement that would make the education system is the Entrance exam in a year in Korea. It's so important so student's future can count on this Entrance Exam. Students take it seriously because they want to go to good college. Going good college means that students are succeed in the education. This system made students sick so someone who doesn't take the Entrance Exam well, he/she is so depressed, and even someone killed himself or herself because of failure of exam. To improve this system is that schools should value the student's grade records. It will be unfair if those students have a good grade records, but they don't get a good result on the Entrance Exam, then their good records will be underestimated.
