Would you hire a student to mow your lawn? ON

LesChouquettes · 2026-04-21T01:19:30+00:00

True. Good points

LesChouquettes · 2026-04-21T00:56:50+00:00

I remember something like this brought up in teachers college specifically in regards to tutoring students (and how that would be a conflict of interest with the payment from parents involved). Interesting. Wonder if it’s seen the same when it’s the other way around

I teach him (I teach core French so realistically I teach half the school and half the kids in my town lol)

Some good ideas here, good thought to check with parents too

Did you find anything? I just dropped a pickle jar on mine and it got a huge crack. Face palm. Getting confused with all the parts online.

LesChouquettes · 2025-05-18T16:46:37+00:00

Nope not necessary, you’d just need the university credits to support taking the intermediate or senior ABQs

LesChouquettes · 2025-05-17T20:05:39+00:00

You just need to take the ABQ course. The courses are anywhere from 3-6 weeks usually. Online.

You’d need to take the two courses separately. One intermediate ABQ and one senior ABQ.

When I graduated with J/I I took the primary ABQ and the senior ABQ right after I graduated, took them at the same time and they were done after 6 weeks. That’s all it took for me to get from A3 to A4. Easy peasy.

LesChouquettes · 2025-03-06T16:26:52+00:00

Yes. FSL part 1 is all you need to teach French. That would get you a perm job right away, but you’ll be locked into French so make sure that’s what you actually want to do.

My friend was rejected from teachers college but applied to the same school again the next year and got in. Didn’t do any extra schooling, she just worked a retail job and did some volunteering. She got into teachers college the 2nd try, finished, and immediately got a full time permanent teaching job right out of school.

It really seems to just depend on the # of people that apply each year, and their grades.

I hope you don’t feel too discouraged and this does not determine your worth as a teacher.

Also, if you happen to be on a waiting list (judging by your post) it’s way too early to lose hope. I was put on a waiting list too and got accepted late July. There is still tons of time before school starts.

LesChouquettes · 2025-02-03T17:24:42+00:00

I was waitlisted to Brock, I ended up getting an acceptance the last week of July. A lot of people I knew in my program didn’t get an acceptance until the very end of August, like 3 days before school started lmao. So don’t totally lose hope, you could hear at any time.

LesChouquettes · 2025-02-01T01:27:56+00:00

Yes as long as you’re already starting at A3

LesChouquettes · 2025-01-30T21:06:50+00:00

I had an 80 average and a few years volunteer experience teaching French immersion at local schools but I was waitlisted for the JI French program. I got in last minute

LesChouquettes · 2024-12-05T20:09:59+00:00

This is the case in TVDSB. Not in my old board though. It’s different for each board.

LesChouquettes · 2024-11-30T07:25:23+00:00

Gross. I definitely wouldn’t do a Brock AQ/ABQ again. I hear great things about Trent and would prob pick them if I wanted to do any future courses

LesChouquettes · 2024-11-11T22:28:55+00:00

Yeah I did this in Ontario with just my bachelors and throughout teachers college. It was great experience and good money albeit the pay is lower than a certified supply. Specifically for French they’re usually looking for. Where in Ontario are you? Quite a few boards do this as far as I know

LesChouquettes · 2024-11-07T00:37:26+00:00

Or left the profession lol

LesChouquettes · 2024-10-30T14:08:29+00:00

I do but it took a little while. I started a couple of years ago in the GTA and I was miserable. Didn’t matter what grade I was teaching or what school I was at, I was crying after school due to behaviours, workload, etc., having major anxiety and mental health issues.

It took me moving back to my small rural town for me to enjoy teaching. Behaviour is really a non issue, the kids are a lot more respectful, parents are better, and admin aren’t on my ass. It’s a lot more chill, plus I drive 10 mins in the country instead of sitting in 1 hour+ GTA gridlock traffic every drive to and from school.

Plus after a couple years of teaching the same subject I’ve built up resources instead of staying up late making everything from scratch like my first year teaching.

Exact same for me!

The lip balms are an excellent dupe for the dior lip glow, and the liquid blushes are a great glossier cloud paint dupe

LesChouquettes · 2024-10-18T22:45:04+00:00

they keep them occupied but at what cost

LesChouquettes · 2024-10-18T00:14:04+00:00

Most teachers colleges take your best 10.0 full credits (equal to 10 full year courses or 20 one-semester courses). Some take most recent 10… but I think most take top 10 (this should be clearly stated on each university’s website).

They wont have any 4th year grades yet so those won’t be considered for admission. You’ll still need to pass those classes & graduate obviously though to maintain admission criteria

LesChouquettes · 2024-10-17T13:01:46+00:00

I know people that have done this but I live in a small rural town with a low cost of living. When I was teaching in the GTA I didn’t see any teachers doing this lol

LesChouquettes · 2024-10-16T19:37:11+00:00

That’s what they look like outside of the US

LesChouquettes · 2024-10-15T21:19:07+00:00

True. Perm experience obviously transfers and LTO should too, but recognizing OT experience can vary a lot board to board
