The end of the school year is quickly coming up. I have a great idea for what you can give your children's teachers--custom designed greeting cards personalized just for them. It's a great gift and through May 14, 2008 take 20% off your order. Just mention "teacher" when you check out (even if it's not for a teacher!) That makes each gift less than $6.50. Save on shipping by ordering multiple sets (Sunday school teachers, tutors, principle, etc.)

They say that math and music go hand and hand, so it is no wonder that my favorite teachers were my high school math teacher and a music professor at MIT. This photo was from my senior year in high school in the computer room. I'm sitting at a teletype terminal for you young'uns who've never seen such a thing, probably programming in Pascal. In high school, I excelled in math and I loved having a teacher that was exciting, fun and a bit cocky. He would make jokes all the time and wear tailored shirts and tight jeans for the girls. At the end of the year, I wrote him a letter, expressing my appreciation for all that he brought to the class . I knew it would be something that I would be terribly embarrassed about in the future, but I did it anyway. I gave it to him at the beginning of

By Graeme Paton, Sophie Borland and Aislinn SimpsonApril 24, TelegraphA third of schools are expected to be thrown into chaos on Thursday as teachers staged their first national strike in 21 years - with threats of further industrial action to come.Up to 8,000 primary, secondary and special schools are being forced to close - or turn entire classes away - because of the walk-out. Some parents were still facing uncertainty as headteachers have been unable to confirm on Wednesday night if lessons would be covered.The National Union of Teachers refused to rule out a rolling programme of strikes later this year as the Government appeared unlikely to cave into their demands for improved pay.The union - representing almost half of teachers in England and Wales - insist this year's 2.45 per cent

Everyone in Texas knows that teacher pay in Texas has been historically low. Thus, it should come as no surprise that more than 25 percent of all Texas teachers must have a second job to pay their bills and survive–not to mention that 44 percent of teachers are seriously considering another profession, according to a new survey by the Texas State Teacher’s Association, mentioned in the Statesman.
That Texas ranked 32nd among the 50 states in terms of teacher pay in the most recent statistics from the American Federation of Teachers (which is a couple of years old) coupled with the stats from the TSTA study should be a wake-up call for members of the Texas Legislature. Democrats have already taken notice of the problem, and last session, House Democrats took some steps to help r

This article is an updated repost of a previous comment made on this site in 2006 which also previously appeared in an Autism Society New Brunswick newsletter. Since these tips were originally drafted ASNB has been successful in encouraging the provincial government to train teacher aides and resource teachers at the UNB-CEL Autism Intervention Training program. Premier Shawn Graham and Education Minister Kelly Lamrock have commited to training 100 TA's and resource teachers per year for 4 years at UNB-CEL AIT. One year's class has graduated and another should be starting soon.

Pay is of course a concern to teachers, like many public sector workers.Yet pay is not the only problem teachers face.Large class sizes, poor discipline and poor role models also play their part.Teachers should strike to call for improved conditions.They should march through London with banners and leaflets, and should make clear that every child suffers when playing fields are sold off and Only then will the Government take notice.If teachers organised regular strikes in both the state and independent sector, there would be chaos. Could the Army be called in to teach children? Or non-union university lecturers?I doubt it.Conditions will only improve when teachers protest.

The National Union of Teachers or "NUT" is demanding Imams be allowed into British classrooms to teach about the Koran in state sponsored "faith" schools.Faith schools are part of the UK state sponsored system, in essence, these schools are not private. The union held a conference from which a list of demands evolved, demands which involve the inclusion of instruction of other faiths, mainly that of Islam. One such demand was that Imams should come into the schools to teach about the Islam faith and the Koran.Steve Sinnot, the General Secretary of NUT, therefore one of the head "NUTs" believes letting Imams into the Christian faith schools to teach about the Koran will go a long way towards "reuniting communities".We wondered, just how does one become an Imam?

Moving halfway around the world, to a culture as foreign and difficult to penetrate as Japan's is difficult for anyone. If you become an English teacher here, you will probably have to deal with a Japanese boss and staff with different cultural values from your own. This can lead to a feeling of paranoia in some cases; isolation and disillusionment. To a great extent, leaving your friends and family and going to Japan to teach English engenders some of the same feelings as that of teenagers rebelling from their parents in the West. Teenagers rely on their parents, yet resent and rebel against them. Of course they complain to their friends about them too. Foreign English teachers in Japan must rely on their Japanese bosses for: their work visa, in some cases their apartment, and of course t

From "What Makes Finnish Kids So Smart?" (WSJ, February 29, 2008):The academic prowess of Finland's students has lured educators from more than 50 countries in recent years to learn the country's secret, including an official from the U.S. Department of Education. What they find is simple but not easy: well-trained teachers and responsible children. Early on, kids do a lot without adults hovering. And teachers create lessons to fit their students. "We don't have oil or other riches. Knowledge is the thing Finnish people have," says Hannele Frantsi, a school principal. [Emphasis added]It alternately amuses and alarms me that a plainspoken assertion can cause such gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands.For example, why is it so painful to consider that an education program cannot exceed the

Dardenne Prairie, Mo ( ThaLunatic Daily ) -- Melissa R. Moss, a 27 year old former teacher at Barat Academy in Dardenne Prairie has been charged with furnishing pornographic material to a minor after she emailed nude photos of herself to a 15 year old student.Barat school officials say that Moss was fired last year, just 14 weeks after the Catholic school first opened. They also said the issue surfaced when parents of a 15 year old student of the school checked the boy's email and complained to school administrators.Moss' attorney, Michael Kielty has claimed that he doesn't believe Moss committed a crime. When pressed to explain why sending nude photos to a minor wasn't a crime, he basically played dead - claiming to have never seen the evidence.St. Charles County Prosecutor Jack Banas sai
You watch a video that came your way from Bourne who is now living in Thailand. It's a Japanese orchestra breaking out into a cover of "Smoke on the Water". When the singing starts you realise that nothing you can imagine sufficiently outstrips the reality of Japan to become a spoof. It's pretty much unspoofable. A joke advert for men's lipstick seems funny, until you are riding the subway one day and see an ad for "menzu lippu". It is actually on sale in Japan.Recently, G Communications said they would buy Nova on the condition that they didn't break up the company into smaller divisions and that they would hire any teacher who wanted to work "in principle". Since acquiring the Nova brand they opened a handful of schools across Japan. Then they stopped taking on new teachers. Then they
Note2be (a play on "not" and "note" meaning a grade in French) allows French pupils to mark their teachers. Within 3 weeks or its launch, it was sued by the national teachers union on the grounds of "disrupting public order". The court is due to decide on the 3rd of March.So why are teachers so unhappy? According to Aurelie, a 24 years old primary school teacher "On the Internet, everything is graded. We are not products». Oh the irony...Article in French in communist paper Liberation.
Being the skeptic that I am, I have never bought that "the dog ate my homework" excuse...until now, that is. My little Scout Muffin Courtney has made me a believer. What you see before you is a sneak peek of a section, or rather pieces of a section, of my "Between Us Girls" magabook for tween girls, due to release this summer. My Publisher had sent the section of color page proofs with the simple instructions to look over the images for approval. You think Scout has a problem with the image on this page? Note to self: Don't leave manuscript on floor next to writing chair. And yes, in case you're wondering about the mangled bear in the photo, it used to be a cute Hallmark Christmas bear in a previous life. He sat peacefully on my sofa during the holidays minding his own little business. App

You know them, their on television, on your AM dial, their everywhere and you continuously try to implement their false regimens. Just like those odd, unsafe and uneffective diet plans we are bombarded with, we are constant targets for worthless self-growth and self-improvement courses and plans.The only defense for these self-help and personal development gurus is a clear mind. The very thing so-called self-growth teachers and preachers promise to give you with their books, lectures and instructions. These smiling and clever individuals are quite aware that their teachings are in most cases totally valueless but fame and money are too attractive for them to resist. That being so, these fake and in many cases, misguided souls are more than willing to sell you a bill of goods. But if you li
I've always admired teachers, my sister is one and for the first year out of school, I also worked for the NYC department of education as a sub. and then permanantly in Special Ed. classroom.Recently, I discovered that Dan Brown (UPDATED, he is not author of The Da Vinci Code, he's a different Dan Brown) penned a memoir called The Great Expectations School: A Rookie Year in the New Blackboard Jungle. It takes a fine human being to teach, not just anyone would teach public school in the Bronx. Kudos to him on his new book, which he says has gotten great reviews.This one's going on my reading list too! The other night, I had trouble falling asleep and watched Independent Lens .

Some are lazy

They are terrible, horrible, not agreeable, nasty, teachers!

A teacher dies and goes to Heaven. When she gets there she meets Saint Peter at the pearly gates. Peter says to her, "Welcome to Heaven. Let me give you an orientation first."So Peter takes her to some beautiful houses.The teacher asks, "Who lives here in these beautiful houses?""These are for doctors. They did a lot of good on Earth so they get a nice mansion," replies Peter.Peter takes the teacher to some more mansions. These were more magnificent than the first."Wow, who lives here?""These mansions are for social workers. They did a lot of good on Earth, but didn't make a lot of money so they get a better house."Peter takes the teacher to some more mansions. These are the most gorgeous homes she had ever seen. They have huge columns, well manicured lawns, beautiful stained glass windows - the works!"These are the most beautiful homes I have ever seen," exclaims the teacher. "Who lives here?!""Teachers live here," says Peter, "they did much good on Earth and received ver

Ladies and Gentlemen, the following article from the "Religious News" website is being presented here untouched, unmarked, unadulterated and unwashed. I am not going to make any comments about it since I think you know my position on something like this already.The nonprofit Institute for Creation Research in Dallas wants to train future science teachers in Texas and elsewhere using an online curriculum. A state advisory group gave its approval Friday; now the final say rests with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, which will consider the request next month.The institute's proposal comes amid a fierce debate over how to teach evolution - the theory that humans and other species evolved from lower forms of life - in Texas public schools.Some advocacy groups are attacking the creation institute's plan, saying it's an attempt to undermine the teaching of science in public schools."They teach distorted science," said Eugenie Scott, executive director of the Califo
There is an old line in the manufacturing industry that goes like this, if you can’t meet the spec, change the spec. Meaning if you can’t make the product the specs the designer intended, then you just ease up on the specs instead of making the product better.
According to this article, that mentality is what the principal at an East Harlem school is endorsing with his teachers. If the students can’t pass the curriculum, instead of failing the students, or making the students do extra credit, or even stay after school for extra help, he says just make the curriculum easier.
Here are some excerpts from a memo the principal sent out to his teachers:
“If you are not passing more than 65 percent of your students in a class, then you are not designing your expectations to meet their abilities, and you are setting your students up for failure, which, in turn, limits your success as a professional.”
“Most of our students come from the lowest third
The strike of the teachers is over, for the time being. Ran Erez tried to show that he gained many victories, and in doing so, he stressed the fact that the teachers will be compensated for all the days lost. I'm not dismissing the importance of this section, with its financial implications, but of course this cannot be presented as an achievement of the strike. The tautology is clear: you don't go on strike in order to win compensation for the salaries lost during the strike.Other than that what was gained? This is not clear. The compensation for the erosion of wages was due even without the strike, and this is the 8.5% hike guaranteed. The additional raise is under condition of a reform. Now both sides have caught their opponent's bull by the horns. Will the teachers give up the extra 17.5% in order to avoid the reform, or will the government keep demanding for a bigger reform to avoid paying the extra 17.5%? Either way, I think the fact that the strike ends with the expected incr
