How many no-spanks have pushed their kids to become schoolteachers?
James,
Your wife sounds like most teachers I know. She sounds like me when I taught children. She still sounds like me, even though I now teach adults how to be teachers. I cannot understand the people who think tudents do not choose teaching because they can't hit the children. Or who think teachers are rich individuals who teach because they are lazy or dumb. It's bizarre but not uncommon in 2006. You described teaching for what it is. It's a hard job, but one of the most rewarding jobs if you love children and teaching. I miss teaching children every day, even though I now teach at a university that prepares students to be teachers. I hope my passion for teaching will be passed on to my students. And when I see this happen, it makes my career change worthwhile! LaVonne wrote: In Massachusetts, teachers are paid on the same wage scale as the janitors. This dispite teachers having advanced degrees, have continuing education requirements, and have to work long hours. My wife is a teacher. She teaches students from 8:15 to 3:15 and then grades and prepares from 3:15 to around 11:00, 5 days a week. Weekends, she spends about 8 hours preparing and grading. She also spends several thousand dollars a year on class materials. All this for barely a livable wage which declines every year (as it does not keep up with inflation). I'm not surprised that most teachers leave the industry and move into a field that America values. ------------------------ http://www.cafepress.com/bush_dogger...29?pid=2794571 |

Opinions questions regarding teaching.... was How many no-spanks have pushed their kids to become schoolteachers?
Are you teaching teaching LaVonne?
Or are you pushing a political agenda? A university Med School recently got in some hot water here for pushing liberal politics and applying that as a bias in rating students. Professors pushing political agendas are getting in trouble across the US. Are you next? Do you have a Doctorate, LaVonne? |

Are you teaching teaching LaVonne? She's posted that recently and many times before. Are you simply harassing? Or are you pushing a political agenda? Everyone "pushes" and agenda, and we can call it political if it impacts society. As a teacher of teachers it would be hard to NOT be influencing teachers along an "agenda" of how to teach. A very political act indeed, when you consider it impacts nearly every member of society before they are adults. I WANT her to have a political agenda, as a teacher of teachers. It needs to be about drawing the best from them to learn to draw the best from children. And a safe environment is the most conducive to learning. A university Med School recently got in some hot water here for pushing liberal politics and applying that as a bias in rating students. Does LaVonne look like a med school? Professors pushing political agendas are getting in trouble across the US. Are you next? Don't you wish, little man. Anything to promote your abusive attitude toward children. Do you have a Doctorate, LaVonne? She has posted many times that she has. You just harassing again? Do YOU have a doctorate? In BA or BS or a Masters? Do YOU have an agenda she would need to be concerned about? Is it reflected in these questions and barely veiled threats? "Are you next?" indeed. How blatantly threating can you be? 0:- -- "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote." - Benjamin Franklin |

teaching is so rewarding that half of all teachers leave in the first
five years and no one here seems to have encouraged their child to enter the classroom................ |

Greegor wrote: Are you teaching teaching LaVonne? Or are you pushing a political agenda? I am teaching what research has shown to be best practices. In doing that, I am complying with many sets of standards that are required by state for accountability. A university Med School recently got in some hot water here for pushing liberal politics and applying that as a bias in rating students. I have no information on this "Med School." I have not way to give an informed comment. Professors pushing political agendas are getting in trouble across the US. Are you next? Not as long as practice research-based teaching, which I do. Do you have a Doctorate, LaVonne? Yes. LaVonne |

It needs to be about drawing the best from them to learn to draw the best from children. And a safe environment is the most conducive to learning. This, however, is not a political agenda. This is teaching best practices that is solidly grounded in research. And research clearly demonstrates what you say in your above paragraph. A university Med School recently got in some hot water here for pushing liberal politics and applying that as a bias in rating students. Does LaVonne look like a med school? Who knows? No one has ever seen me (grin)! Do you have a Doctorate, LaVonne? She has posted many times that she has. You just harassing again? Of course I have a doctorate, and I have posted this many times. I'd vote for "harassing again." Do YOU have a doctorate? In BA or BS or a Masters? What about it opinions -- can you answer this question? Do YOU have an agenda she would need to be concerned about? I'm concerned about hitting and hurting children in the name or discipline and in the name of teaching. Do you think opinions may have this political agenda? Is it reflected in these questions and barely veiled threats? "Are you next?" indeed. How blatantly threating can you be? Oh, I've lived through threats far more blatant that observer's (grin)! He practices projection -- advance one's political view with no substantive research, and then accuse everyone else of his behavior. LaVonne 0:- |

Who crappy professors push pet agendas
What professor do you know that does subjective grading, and allows the
students to determine their grade? If you are referring to me, this is so absurd.
