I'm on Team Admin here, sorry. As a teacher, I'd be irritated that you made the decision that I wasn't teaching anymore, and as a parent, I'd be...
It's hard to explain. You move beyond synthesizing other people's research into creating your own. It's stimulating, but also stressful. The...
Getting a doctorate is a whole different experience altogether. I'm starting my second year of a PhD program. If you thought there was a big...
Describe what you saw in your notes to the teacher and let them decide if further action is needed.
