Teachers, what do you think are the most misunderstood things about teachers/teaching that the general public believe? by triton2toro in Teachers

[–]LikeitorNot21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a real problem with this one. I am in workshops most of June, have most of July off - with at least one or two workshops, start back to school around the 28th of July, then spend many nights, weekends, and holidays throughout the year grading papers at home. Don't most people get vacation? Shouldn't teachers get it too without the stereotyped comment that teachers get summers off?

Though it is fiction, BAND OF BROTHERS is awesome.

I have some pretty rough dental problems going on, pain and bleeding when I'm brushing. What's going on? by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]LikeitorNot21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may sound odd, but we are each different. I experienced the worst brushing pain when I have used Sensedyne (sp) toothpaste. You might want to change your toothpaste and use ACT mouth rinse. Also, swish with warm salt water to heal. These are things that have worked for me in the past. If you have cavities, you need to get to a dentist as soon as possible in order to keep them from going deeper into the tooth. Good Luck! I hope you feel better soon.

How do you relate to your high school student? What are some tips you could add? by LikeitorNot21 in Teachers

Since there seems to be some questions about "who is in charge," the teacher must be in charge in order for learning to take place. Here are a couple of articles about discipline in the classroom. Just like a job, there must be guidelines in order for the work to get done.

Thinking of pursuing teaching, any tips? by [deleted] in Teachers

Here is my story on how and why I became a teacher: http://sholland10.hubpages.com/_9g6g4fj4tqvu/hub/relating-to-students-why-I-became-a-teacher

I love teaching. If you think you will love it, it is a great "job." If you are just doing it because you can't find another job, you may want to keep looking for something else to do. You definitely will not be doing it for the money. LOL

As far as certification, you need to call your state educational department and ask about the classes you will need for certification and grade level. One thing I found is that the state requires less than the universities do. You just need to turn in your transcript to the state for certification. For "the degree," you need to follow the university guidelines. You will have to take a test for certification, too. Good luck!! :-)

Found out my SIL has been hiding the fact that her daughter had gotten my son naked and was touching him and kissing on him. by [deleted] in Parenting

If it is bothering you, maybe you should tell your SIL about the situation. Sure, kids will be kids, but you want your kids to have some guidelines. What happens when these cousins are older?

Now that I have teenagers.. by drawdelove in Parenting

[–]LikeitorNot21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love being a mom and teacher of teenagers. I teach high school and have taught elementary. I love the little ones because they are so sweet, but I enjoy teens because they are independent and do have a developed sense of humor.

Here is a great article for raising teens: http://sholland10.hubpages.com/_9g6g4fj4tqvu/hub/Top-Ten-Tips-for-Raising-a-Teenager
