I might try talking first with the teacher for his/her advice. If they aren't sure either it might be worth it to talk with the student. Maybe...
Thanks all, the second round of answers is what I was looking for. (Should've phrased my question to reflect that :-) ) In theory, it seems to...
Thank you for responding. What I'm wondering is what do you do in cases where the teacher is absent unexpectedly or for an undetermined amount of...
I agree about seeing if you can work in/volunteer regularly so you can get a good feel of being a teacher. When I was starting out, I observed my...
When we have experienced longterm subs, they pretty much take over the class and require no more support than the teachers who have been there...
Just a quick clarification: my family member wasn't insulting teaching/teachers. The comment basically was that I talk about school too much, but...
How much do you all talk about work with your non-teacher friends and family? Do you think it's too much? I didn't think i did it too much, but a...
We have a practice lock down drill evert 1 - 2 months. They stress that the most important thing is that the room LOOKS empty. So even though we...

Our students who are unable to go outside due to illness typically stay with the nurse, sit in the office and read a book, or they can go to...
I feel you should have a conversation with her (preferably away from school, but in school is fine if you can talk one on one) to clear the air. I...
I was glad to read this post and realize it is not just me feeling the frustration on this matter. Earlier this week, a student was bought to my...
Being a classroom teacher is hard and we've got the same children everyday, (usually) an administration and grade level team that offer daily...
Transitions can be rough. Calling one group at a time helped with my first graders. I always tried to help them make the connection between their...
I agree. When I was in the classroom, I used to ask different para's and staff/faculty members not tied to a classroom if they could cover me for...
I was going to suggest the same thing. Some children are ready for narrow pencils, some may prefer the fat ones. Our school's writing curriculum...
