Chicago, are your contracts for first-year, non-tenured teachers really for five years? Or did you just miss that this is about a non-tenured...
Well, Tiffany, it's clear that I would never teach in your building, so I won't discuss my response as a teacher, but as a parent, if you raised...
I think you and Swan have it right. Although I have no idea what makes little rubber dots or squiggles on the bottom of a sock 'cute'.
Assuming that the change of direction of kicking is random, rather than a strict pattern of alternation, and that the socks can only go on so far,...
Oy. The stuff is, in fact on the outside, yes, we agree about that. Yes, I would prefer that her socks stay on. However, it's NON SKID, not non...
How would you teach the math concepts behind this problem? Or just describe the concepts?
Oh, heck. I wrote a long post here, but I dumped the text. I just think that people have a responsibility to do their jobs and when not doing...

I'm with Toak- get Linux (Ubuntu is a version of Linux, and quite a good one). A standard installation is not only free, but comes with a whole...
socks for newborns have non-skid soles?
After almost a year of his tantrums, hitting, biting, screaming, running, refusing to follow directions, etc, the teacher finally overreacted. The...
I think the teacher needs a break from teaching, at the very least. However, I also think she should consider suing her principal and district. I...
I wonder how that process is supposed to occur. Just a matter of time?
Yeah, I have to agree with this. Bright children are often easily distracted, but it's a good thing. They are less likely than others to pursue...
Oh, go for it. After all, the principal can hardly fire you for doing what he asked. If he/she gets particular, just say you understood the...
I'll do that. And- I know! I was one of those sick kids who was getting shots all the time. I never did get used to it. In fact, I've had steel...
What age kids are you teaching? And, bravo for going Reggio! As for your question, it's hard to go wrong with tools for examining nature-...
Sorry for your loss, Alice.
