-tells us teaching sucks, never go into teaching
-listens to screamo
-if you want something re-taught, he yells and complains, but helps you
-caring
-tells us "if you're not even going to try, then you might as well quit school and go work at mcdonalds."

really seem to be written in an effort to help reinforce what you've learned, or do they usually seem to be worded in a way to confuse you and make you unsure of what you have learned?

I am not a teacher and know that although they have an inflation proof pension it is heavily discounted (I refer to UK) if they retire early. Many of them are near or have a nervous breakdown or suffer stress illness, this is perhaps more so than many other professions. When are our so called politicians going to insist on an inquiry to discover the root course of the loss of experienced teachers especially as they are now rabbiting on about compulsory education until the age of 18>

After I told my teacher that my girlfriend is German, my grade got low. He is Jewish, so he must have hate me. Also, another teacher is from Cuba and I wrote that I like Fidel Castro on my essay, so maybe she hated me so made my grade low, cause before that, my grades were good

My child's classroom is disruptive. Some students constantly disrupt class, throw paper wads, use cell phones, etc. The teacher is aware, but looks the other way. She is a nice person. Smart children want to transfer to another classroom. What should parents do?

I am working as a short call sub as I advance through my teaching program. Inevitiably, I go to classes where the teacher does not leave the bathroom or drinking fountain rules for me. Usually, I say "no library passes, no media center passes, and no drinking fountain passes" during class. The bathroom is a gray area though. I get a string of students simultaniously asking the question... "can I go?"... I ask if it's an emergency, and of course it is! I'm in a quagmire in that I'm not stupid, I know it isn't an emergency... yet I am not sure if I should put a "blanket" no bathroom pass policy into effect in the fear that a student will have an accident. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to manage this fairly, yet firmly? Remember, I am a sub, so rewards and extra credit really aren't applicable.

I graduated in 2006 with a marketing degree and I've been working in advertising since. I'm starting to think this is not the career for me. I love the work I do but I don't like business in general...the people, the environment, etc. I've always wanted to become a teacher but my dad (who paid for college) wouldn't let me. I'm starting to think I want to pursue a masters degree in education, but I don't know where or how to start and if its a good decision. Maybe I should just stick it out here...I don't know, any suggestions?

I am a 1st yr second grade teacher. The Mother, Aunt and Grandmother of one student and the Father of another student asked to attend my holiday party. Naturally I assumed they were going to help.

They did absolutely nothing but sit and watch me work. I was rushing around giving out pizza, wiping up spills, refilling juice cups, trying to keep kids calm, etc.

At one point the Father was like, "Excuse me," and I thought he was going to ask if he could help but he just was like, "There's no music? It seems quiet".

WHY DID THEY EVEN COME IF THEY WERE JUST GOING TO SIT AROUND and not lift a finger?

I live in Ireland and I would eventually like to teach English as a foreign language in France or possibly Poland, I want to take a course but I don't have a degree. Does anyone know if there are courses in Ireland that I can take which will be recognised in these countries without having to spend 3 years taking a degree course?

I've always wondered why there seems to be a need for teachers in the second semester of school. Is it because the teachers quit their jobs? Or the teachers had to leave because of something else, like being pregnant, having to take care of a sick family member, etc.

I'm just wondering since I'm trying to apply for a teaching position.

I am a first year second grade teacher. The father of one of my TAG students pops in randomly during the year to observe. At the beginning of the year he told me he runs his own business, so I assume he's got a pretty open schedule.

Anyway, he only comes to observe me when I am teaching math toward the end of the day. Why is this? Is he concerned that his child is not getting adequate math instruction? I don't know how to ask without sounding rude.

What does she have the "Rock, "River", and the "Tree". Represent? What do the three symbolize?





A Rock, A River, A Tree
Hosts to species long since departed,
Marked the mastodon.
The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
Of their sojourn here
On our planet floor,
Any broad alarm of their hastening doom
Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages.

But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,
Come, you may stand upon my
Back and face your distant destiny,
But seek no haven in my shadow.

I will give you no more hiding place down here.

You, created only a little lower than
The angels, have crouched too long in
The bruising darkness,
Have lain too long
Face down in ignorance.

Your mouths spilling words
Armed for slaughter.

The Rock cries out today, you may stand on me,
But do not hide your face.

Across the wall of the world,
A River sings a beautiful song,
Come rest here by my side.

Each of you a bordered country,
Delicate and strangely made proud,
Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.

Your armed struggles for profit
Have left collars of waste upon
My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.

Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
If you will study war no more. Come,

Clad in peace and I will sing the songs
The Creator gave to me when I and the
Tree and the stone were one.

Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your
Brow and when you yet knew you still
Knew nothing.

The River sings and sings on.

There is a true yearning to respond to
The singing River and the wise Rock.

So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew
The African and Native American, the Sioux,
The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek
The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,
The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher.
They hear. They all hear
The speaking of the Tree.

Today, the first and last of every Tree
Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.

Plant yourself beside me, here beside the River.

Each of you, descendant of some passed
On traveller, has been paid for.

You, who gave me my first name, you
Pawnee, Apache and Seneca, you
Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then
Forced on bloody feet, left me to the employment of
Other seekers--desperate for gain,
Starving for gold.

You, the Turk, the Swede, the German, the Scot ...
You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought
Sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare
Praying for a dream.

Here, root yourselves beside me.

I am the Tree planted by the River,
Which will not be moved.

I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree
I am yours--your Passages have been paid.

Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
For this bright morning dawning for you.

History, despite its wrenching pain,
Cannot be unlived, and if faced
With courage, need not be lived again.

Lift up your eyes upon
The day breaking for you.

Give birth again
To the dream.

Women, children, men,
Take it into the palms of your hands.

Mold it into the shape of your most
Private need. Sculpt it into
The image of your most public self.
Lift up your hearts
Each new hour holds new chances
For new beginnings.

Do not be wedded forever
To fear, yoked eternally
To brutishness.

The horizon leans forward,
Offering you space to place new steps of change.
Here, on the pulse of this fine day
You may have the courage
To look up and out upon me, the
Rock, the River, the Tree, your country.

No less to Midas than the mendicant.

No less to you now than the mastodon then.

Here on the pulse of this new day
You may have the grace to look up and out
And into your sister's eyes, into
Your brother's face, your country
And say simply
Very simply
With hope
Good morning.

As a substitute teacher, I incur the misbehavior of many a child. I was hoping you might be able to offer some advice as far as handling a child's misbehavior (i.e., sitting still, staying quiet, to stop pushing and shoving). What are the tricks of the trade?
