Oh yeah, one more thing
Guidance counselors have no more power in most school corporations than a classroom teacher. So yes she is right, there isn’t anything SHE can do about it. But the principal can....and so can the Superintendent....and so can the school board.
Keep going....
At this point I would call up and complain to the principal. Zero tolerance is ugly. Also since he was out with a doctor’s excuse, he should be allowed extra time to re-submit it since he was not in class to receive the directions. I also looked up this website turnitin.com...
Attack the facts.
I am a teacher as well. My advice is that I would not argue the point on the extra time; he didn't need it. It is admirable that he did turn the paper in on time. However, I would address the problem and that is that the teacher is not teaching your brother anything but that...
Although it would be in bad taste, and I will actually refrain from doing this, I would love to show this to my class who is currently studying Plate Tectonics. Yes I laughed, and they would too. Great minds think alike.
I grew up in Crawford County right on the edgo of Patoka Lake. My mom and dad still have the family farm (use that term loosely) of 100 acres. My dad will be 80 this year and my mom is 78. They still hunt every year and have a competition on who gets how many. There has never been a year...
Just warn her to be careful, especially if you have kids, we can't carry on school property, even in the car. Because you know students...NEVER...shoot in school. Ummmm Columbine?
There is no one answer to the problems education has. And even if we could identify them and figure out a fix to those problems, the answer would only work for a little while or only with some students. Why? Because students and education are dynamic, never staying the same. Kids in todays...
And I totally agree, we need to get away from the politicians who want to drive a Lexis when all they can afford is an Escort. It is all about the show to them, and kids and education aren't part of the spotlight. Sad.
Sports, well that is a touchy subject with a lot of people. I can see both sides of the argument, it does keep a lot of kids out of trouble and creates a lot of confidence and skills as well as the ability to work with others and to take direction. However, if we can't educate them as well, it...
Some people may not be happy with our Public Education system, but I will tell you there are those of use in there with heart. I don't have all the answers but all I know is that by cutting budgets and eliminting programs like Family and Consumer Science (like my corp had to in order to keep as...
Need help with Science?
I am a high school Chemistry, Physics and Earth science teacher. I know with today's economy a lot of people are back in school. If anyone needs a tutor, or just has a brief question....I am willing to help. Most likely for free. Just let me know! If you need extensive...
Hello all, Thanks for all the welcoming posts. I actually pulled off the side of the road to register (been keepin' an eye on it for a few days) when I saw 9,999 members were registered! My husband has been a member for quite a while and has been encouraging me to sign up. Sounded like fun...
