I go through this every year...no easy answer!
I don't think this rule is too strict but if I were in your shoes I would just have them enter your classroom at the bell and stay out in the hall...
This is so true! I love my students. Even the pain-in-the-butt kids (sometimes). Granted, I am in a great school with great kids so I don't...
What a difficult situation. When I was student teaching, my depression, anxiety, and what I now know to be ADHD came to a head and I really...
What drug/s do people think this teacher is taking?
I tell students that it is a great job and I love it, because I do. I also tell them it is MUCH harder than it looks--MUCH harder!! And that you...

I think it depends on your personality as a teacher. I have found that generally I enjoy kids more the older they get. BUT, I have had great 6th...
I am 37, and I use technology but not nearly as much as other teachers in the district. I would like to use it more, but I don't like teaching...
hahahahaha!!! Sorry I almost just spit tea at my computer.
I have a decent amount of camping experience, including winter camping in the Adirondack Mountains (hello, -7 degrees in a tent!), and some of the...
I agree with many of the responses here. Most people who say negative things about teaching are ignorant about it. These people are the ones...
