Hi,

NH=>In New Zealand we have staff meetings that last until 5
NH=>o'clock.   Do you consider this to be reasonable?   There
NH=>are a lot of schools that have these on a regular basis i.e.
NH=>three times a week.  How often do you have staff meetings?

If we discussed interesting and important aspects of Education in these
 endless meetings, it would be great. But, in one of our last meetings, for
 example, we spent almost 1 hour discussing if the students should have the
 right to listen to music during lunch time in the cantina, and if any kind of
music would be allowed, or what if some students felt uncomfortable, or,
 or, or.... Or if teachers would have any problem with the "pijamas" day,
 and with the "hat" day. I would be happy if one day we sat down and discussed
 something like: What can we do to improve the educational level of our
 students? At least, our staff meetings are on tuesdays only.

Peter,

I saw your (very good) message to  ALICIA ELIZABETH CONDAYAN
 about how to get through the first year of teaching (I answered that
post too).

I was surprised to see  the following statement in your post, however:

-> Only once was I caught -- when I was asked why we had to do the
-> binomial theorem.  I asked my mathematically qualified teachers why,
-> and they could offer no reason.  That was totally frsutrating for me.

The binomial theorem is useful, since without multiplying out a
binomial, it is possible to find just the resulting term that you would
be interested in. Some types of problems in combinatorics and
probability situations can be represented as polynomial or binomial
products. The term you seek may tell you the number of different ways
that a certain outcome may occur, or some such thing.

Hope this (belatedly) answers your question. Or is this a simpler answer
than what you were looking for?

Greetings from stateside,

Hello,
   I'm currently marking time in a teacher education

   I've done most of the relevant course work.  

Now, the fact is, I want to teach in either the
inner city, or in a small rural community -- but
probably the inner city, since my wife is an artist 
and needs a cities atmosphere (whatever that means :-)

Does anybody out there (or has anybody) worked in
an inner city?  I'm thinking in terms of New York
specifically, but any assistance would be useful and
appreciated.

I guess I'd like to know what the work is like, where
one goes to live, what it costs, and can I work
without a complete certificate, even subbing?

Thanks

I would love to know how some of the other elementary teachers on here are dealing with Halloween in their classrooms. We have such a mix of students in our school, some of whom really "get into" Halloween, others who would rather not have anything about Halloween but tolerate it, and still others who do not celebrate any holidays.

How are you accomodating the holiday?

G'day Gary,

GC>I am in charge of this years Veteran's Day assembly in our Junior High

etc.....

GC>I would like to hear from you if you have any ideas or suggestions. How

The equivalent day in Australia is called ANZAC Day. Anzac day is a
National Holiday.

Generally, even little towns have got a War Memorial located in the
centre of the town. At dawn, a service takes place, followed by a bugler
who plays the Last Post and the Reveille.

At about 9 or 10 in the morning there will be a March Past of veterans
current members of the armed forces and any other group that wants to
march.

My school has an Army Cadet Corps, it marches here in Townsville. As an
ex-Royal Air Force member I march with the Royal Australian Air Force
Association.

This year I happened to be in our State Capital (Brisbane) for Anzac
Day. I was able to march there with the Royal Air Force Association, a
great source of pride for me.

At the service, it is normal to have the following prayer said.


       At the going down of the sun,

       And in the morning,

       We will remember them.


       The response being.... We will remember them.



By this means we hope to keep our democracy free.

Hello!  My name is Arlisa Johnson and I would really like
someone who would be really to take time with me to
discuss different viewpts and questions in relation to
teaching.  I wouldn't ask for more than a once or twice a week
communication unless more was desired from the other person.

Presently, I am a 3rd year student at the University of
Virginia.  I plan to double certify so that I may teach in
primary and secondary schools (K-12).  My heart does belong with the
elementary students preferably Kindergarten or 2nd; however, I
want to leave myself open to many different options.  Also, I'm
majoring in math. 

If you would like to take a little time to help a future
teacher, please respond, and I give you my blessings.  

Thank you for your time.

My e-mail address should come with the headers at the top of
the message. amj5p@virginia.edu is all I know to tell you.  I
don't know the addresses for unet and ublan or whatever it's
called; however, if someone responds needing that
communication, I'll be more than willing to look it up.

presentation.  Allow them to use pictures, props, and any
graphic that might add interest for the viewer.  These videos
then can be exchanged between particapants.  This will put a
face on the messages we send and hopefully facilitate more
communication. 

My class is a fourth grade group of children that have a great

G'day all,

Some of you will be aware that I have just spent two weeks holidays in
New Zealand. (Glad you asked, it was cold and wet :-)  Had a great time
though).

While over there I cut this letter to the Editor out of a NZ newspaper.


Dear Sir,

Do the feminists who want to be called "chairperson" or even
worse, "chair", realise that the "man" in "chairman" has nothing to do
with the mail gender.

It comes from the Latin word "manus", which means "hand". In contrast,
the Latin word for man is "homo", and has nothing to do with the word
"manus". A chairman, therefore, is a person who handles the meeting.

Let's drop this dreadful "chairperson", or this article of furniture
"chair", and let a woman be "Madam chairman". In any case, as Sheldon
Vanuaken said to a certain abuser of language: "Are you not troubled by
the 'son' in chairperson?"

It is a pity that Latin is no longer taught in most schools.  If it
were, there would be less mangling of the English language.

Incidently, I wrote the draft of this penmanship as a manuscript, both
words referring to an activity of manus, the hand.

Kenneth Gregory.
Richmond. New Zealand.

 > improve his sense of self-worth? Any suggestions or

Steve....I am married to an adult ADHD man who has been suffering from this syndrome since we have been married (15 years). So improving your student's self-image is definitely a wonderful goal!

Can you find something that he is *good* at? Everyone has a talent of some type. Capitalize on that without being too gushy about it. Every time he does something good, made a positive statement. Try to minimize the negatives...the child will attempt to bring these up when you least want to hear them. Let the child know that you care about him, too. Sometimes part of the self-esteem problem is that they don't feel loved. If you can do something out-of-teaching-realm that's nice for the child (show up at an
 event he's involved in like a Little League game or Scout function, etc) that would help him know that you care, too. (I know that's hard when you teach, as you can't do it for everyone or you wouldn't have any time left to yourself.)

I'm sure you'll get some other comments, but that's how I'd start...
