You personal life is only yours to share as you decide to.  In teaching, the limits are set accordingly to the age group that composes your class.  If they are close to your age, you better put a limit to what you tell about yourself, because they will try to go around you if they have the info.  If you are teaching adolescents, you would do better if you open up a little bit more, because teenagers need to stablish relationships of trust and are starving for acceptance. In any case there are no rules for what you can share and what not to. You have to remember that if you treat your students as persons they will extend the same courtesy to you.

do something fun . not to bore the kids or anything . some kind of reviewing activity like flash cards or a " mind dump " ( what my 5th grade teacher used to do ) a mind dump is where you take all your knowledge and just write it on a piece of paper. lol . if not then just go original and ask them questions .

I think probably she wanted to know about you personally.  She wants to know if you are a person of wider interest.  \n\nIt might be useful if you were prepared to talk about musical instruments that you play, sports that you enjoy participating in, voluntary work, creative arts, interesting places you have travelled, anything constructive or interesting that you have done outside of education or paid employment.\n\nBad/trite/dull answers would "socialising with friends", "watching television", "playing computer games", "chatting on the Internet", "shopping".  Have something more interesting to talk about!

Schmooze the people on the board and they might give you the oral questions ahead of time.

Make everything relevant to them with hypothetical questions and scenarios.  This'll require a lot of effort (and creativity) on your part, but if speaking on a subject with significance, pose the question, "What if..." then make it relevant to them.\n\nI taught high school English to "underprivileged" kids, so I always went back to hip hop music, urban culture, $h!t that I'm down with anyway-- so we had a lot to relate on.\n\nBut I might pose a question like, "Ladies, if this kind of thing happened today, what would go down?"  Immediately, high school girls have a response, and the guys get drawn in to defend themselves, and you just keep looping back to the concept so they make the connection.\n\nYou've gotta know your kids, though.  That's tantamount.  You've almost got to be them.  Most adults bring up what THEY think is related, or what THEY think kids should be into, often times being the exact opposite of reality.  Make the sacrifice, though.  The kids will learn, and they'll respect that you're down with them.  Maybe you don't wanna talk about hip hop, but if it helps them, then it's what's up.\n\nGood luck.

Ask your friends at school.

Unless you are limited with your resources, why not just let them have what they want - there would be sufficient to go round. Once one cild <lol> has grabbed everything in his excitement, they will soon calm down once they start work and then you can share the stuff round or ask them to do it. \n\nIf you're limited, why not dish out the stuff or get them to pick something they want in turn? That way you could see their choices as they go and maybe even asked why they have chosen that/those particular thing(s). Make a nice talking point wouldn't it?\n\nAnd I'm not even a teacher! lol.\n\nGood luck.

It is none of your teacher's business if you are in love or not. They are there to teach the required subjects and unless you are doing something harmful to yourself or the school they shouldn't interfere. As for gossip, every Board of Education I know of forbids a teacher to spread rumors about students.\n\nAnd a male teacher prying into something as personal as your relationship?\n\nGo to your principal. Tell him/her your teacher has been asking you some very personal questions that makes you uncomfortable and makes you uneasy. Then tell your parents. If you don't want to reveal all I'm sure you can pick out a few questions asked that are personal that your parents wouldn't like to know a male teacher is asking their daughter. But make sure you tell the truth. You'll find yourself in deep trouble making up lies.\n\nGet an adult on your side. Because you've already made your position sound really bad. And it will get worse trying to hide it. Prove to everyone you are grown up enough for the relationship you want.

While it is true that teachers are human and may not word a question exactly right that makes it clear, they do not ask the "wrong" question.  They are asking the student what they believe is important for the student to learn and know.  If you pay attention in class, the teacher usually gives out clues during lectures as to what they think is important for you to know; also when they point out certain readings, that is usually important material to know.

ask them what school they're going to, if they're doing anything else over the summer, what they're interested in, and stuff like that

Have some one practice interview with you. You need to be comfortable talking about yourself. Also have question ready to ask them.

you have to phrase the questions to make people answer positivly.\ni.e instead of what do you think about school, ask  what do you think is the best thing about school/lessons/teachers

As a teacher, I doubt they are plotting against you. Personally, I don't have time to plot against any of the students. When things like that happen there are generally two reasons: 1) accident - I had a situation where a student asked me why I had asked them the same question 3 or 4 times - I hadn't realized that I had or 2) the teachers think highly of you or your ability and are therefore trying to give you a challenge.

Think of one teacher who really made a difference in your life. How about sending that teacher a little card with a personal note inside letting him/her know just how much you appreciate their efforts.  \nI'm a teacher, and boy, any time a student tells me that something, even a trivial thing made a positive difference for them it warms my heart more than anyone could know.  \nHow lovely you are for acknowledging your teachers and realizing that theirs is indeed a heart and soul profession. THANK YOU for speaking up, and here's a little something to escort your entrance into medical school====                 (((((((H U G)))))))))\nBest wishes.

Students want to know "what's in it for them" if they vote for you.  Whether people acknowledge it or not, people want to know whats in it for them.\n\nBut, don't make empty promises.  Instead tell them you will always present the students needs and be a voice for them back to the school adminitrators.\n\nBe "the voice of the students!"\n\n.
