But a few classroom rules.
1. The answer to the obligatory question. No
2. There are no stupid questions-just stupid people that ask questions.
3. Teacher has the right to suspend you.
4. Teacher can take regular quarter and holiday breaks. [Reply]

Elementary still does that. It is a safe playground.
Our middle school does not have recess. We should. They need it. [Reply]

Teachers are about 4.25.
Kids are 3.35 I think. Theirs are subsidized. Mine is not. I eat a lot at school especially if I do not have left overs at home. [Reply]

Wow. 55 cents when I was at school. You got a carnival ticket. In 9th grade I stole a whole roll and sold them discounted out of my locker for 25 cents.
I had a good business going out of my locker [Reply]

b. I have a few. One this year-thought she would be tough, she was awesome and worked hard. Mostly it is the ones that you think will be good and have a difficult time putting words and thoughts to paper.
6. I teach 8th grade Earth Science. I have taught all sciences, in all Middle School grades. I started teaching in KCK. I may have some students on this board. For that, I apologize. I am a much better teacher now. Been in Middle School for 26 years. Next year is 27.

Not that I know of. But I think Minn standards are related to Common Core. I can never understand what math does and why. It seems like they change it every 3 years. Never long enough to get true data. If there is not a significant increase the first year, they try something else. Everyone wants the lightning strike of good. It will never happen. [Reply]
