I am a teacher.\n\nI will certainly give you the opportunity to do the work again.  I would not penalize you for the late work.  I think you've suffered enough.\n\nHowever, get your Mom / Dad to write a note to me.  There's no replacement for parental support.\n\nAnother consideration is this.  A student's track record in a class is golden.  Teachers, well I do, notice this, and I take it into account.

well i cant choose for you but in my opinion even tho teachers dont get paid that much its a good and fun job. the kids are great. but what you have to do is see what fits you the most you cant plan your hole life day by day cuz you never know what will happen you cant prepare for every mistake that might happen  because if you do you will be depprest the rest of your life you just have to take it day by day and see what happens things always have a way of working themselves out \n\n\ngood luck and all the best

yes it is a bad idea but what would be the solution ? have you tried getting involve in the school and to offer reasonable solutions ? if nothing works and you are concerned enough then wait to take your child to school just in-time for class or have someone else do it for you. you could also try another school. lol.

What about a teaching assistant. If you have pc skills thats an advantage. You will earn good money and be able to help out the family. You could do freelance webdesign as as spare time occupation.

Check with your high school's guidance counselor's office. when I was in school, our school received phone calls from local businesses looking for cashiers, inventory clerks, office people, and other employees. Those employers were sensitive to the available hours that the students could work. The money wasn't great but the experience in business sure was. You have NOTHING to lose by asking about it. If that doesn't work out, look into your own business. Why not make 100% profits after taxes and expenses???

I've just finished my training year, and so far I've really enjoyed it.\n\nI think art is certainly different from other subjects to teach, not necessarily easier. Certainly once a project is up and running, the amount of preperation and planning you have to do decreases, but then don't forget other lessons often have text books to resort to if they're stuck for ideas.\n\nYou have to keep the students motivated, which depending upon their own interest and ability can be challenging.\n\nHours can vary, but if you basically total up the hours spent in school and add about an hour every weeknight for planning/marking/admin. you won't be far wrong.\n\nOne piece of advice would be to devise schemes of work that actually interest the students. Don't think that just because you think a particular artist or medium is great, they will. Try to develop lessons that interest and motivate pupils whilst also teaching them aspects of art/design.\n\nI would recommend it to anyone who is passionate about the subject and has the ability to communicate to students, something you won't know till you try.\n\nGood luck!

I went to College for a year and a half. I thought it was worthless. Recently I had to go back to work after being a sahm (stay at home mom) for 15 years, the best job i could get was a 9.00 an hour factory job. I am 43 years old, I am going to go back to school in Sept. and finish my education. Why? because 40 hours a week is 40 hours a week, and quite frankly I'd rather work smart not hard!!! and get paid more! On the flip side, I think if you enjoy what you do, be it work in a factory run a company, or dig ditches you should do the best job you can and enjoy it! After all the person who has to get up and go to work everyday is you! If you aren't interested in pusuing college at the moment take a year off or just attend one or two intersting classes per semester. Alot of my resistance was being told that I HAD to go! Good luck!

It depends on where you want to work.  If you ONLY have a certificate, you'd be lucky to find a minimum wage job.  If you have a university degree (in any field) plus a TESL certificate, you should be able to find work for about $15 (USD) per hour (I made about $18.50 CAD per hour this summer).  The problem is finding FULL-TIME work; few schools pay for prep time so the only way to make a decent living is to teach eight hours a day in the classroom and then do all your prep work outside those hours, without pay (count on about thirty minutes of prep time per hour of class time).  If your certificate didn't include supervised teaching practice, it's not worth the paper it's printed on.  Good luck finding a job with that.

Hey!\nI just got accepted onto a teacher training course two days ago (GCSE English) and it has made me so happy! I wasn't sure at first, and thought I'd just apply and see how I got on, but when I was accepted I was absolutely thrilled!\nIt's a rewarding job, certainly, and everything that you do will have a huge impact on peoples' lives. You'll never have the same day twice and you'll always be learning. I think you should go for it. Even if you decide in a few years that it's not for you, you'll still have made a bit of cash and it's a great stepping-stone into other lines of work, as it shows how flexible and bright you are.

Get better teachers.  \n\nBy the way, didn't you know what teachers made prior to becoming one.  If the answer is no, you support my position that teachers aren't all that bright.  If the answer is yes - be quite about it.\n\nFACT 1 The ones we have now scored the lowest on college entrance exams of ANY profession.\n\nFACT 2 On an hourly basis, teachers are among the highest paid for those with only a 4 year degree. \n\nFACT 3 Teachers work less than 3/4  the number of hours as the rest of the work force.\n\nI think you should consider yourself lucky for what you have and instead of putting energy into getting more money, put that same energy into becoming a better teacher.\n\nIF YOU CAN READ THIS, THANK YOUR PARENTS FOR IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY THEY WHO GAVE YOU THE LOVE OF READING, NOT YOUR TEACHER.

First of all let me say it is very admirable of you to endeavor to teach music.\n\nMusic is a very subjective matter- what one calls "good" another regards as "noise".  The same can be said for teaching, and teaching technique.  Everyone teaches differently, and more important- everyone learns differently.  The best teachers are the ones who can recognize how his or her students learn and tailor the lessons for them.\n\nThat said, with inexperience comes the inability to accurately gauge what it takes to connect with someone in order to teach them.  You may be well suited for teaching and so may not require much experience to pass on what you know.\n\nI would say 10-15 dollars an hour is fair, however- you need to establish confidence within the parents of the children that you are worth their time and effort.  \n\nMore important than what you charge is making your credentials known.  If you have very little in that regard, then I suggest making a package deal beneficial toward you and the student- instead of saying you charge 10 or 15 dollars per hour, say that you charge 10-15 per HALF hour, but want to make certain that you can be a good teacher, so you'll throw in an extra half hour for free.\n\nYou can imagine what the response would be, and you're not really giving anything away for free.  Parents would be more likely to accept you as a teacher- you're offering more bang for the buck.\n\nI also suggest asking for payment for one lesson in advance- the reason being that you need to schedule your day around your lessons, and if someone cancels on you, you can't always find a student to fill that slot, so thus you've wasted an hour of your time.  If everyone pays for one lesson in advance, you will still be paid in the event of a no-show, and then you can simply arrange for a make-up lesson at a later date. \n\nMake certain this are clear: You will not refund for a missed lesson unless given at least 24 hours notice.  That's only common courtesy, and most understand.  It will also make you seem as if you have more experience and are very professional regarding your business.\n\nGood luck

It depends.  I started at $24,000 in Ohio at one of the highest-paying private schools (BA degree) and now I'm in Texas, where my starting pay would have been $30,000 at a private school-it all depends on how much money the school has and how generous your principal is.  The difference between the public and private school salary also depends on the principal for the most part.  I receive 95% of what a public school teacher with my experience makes (though I'm told it will be 85% with 20 years experience).  My principal thinks it's very important to pay the teachers well so we don't all leave and go to a public school for the money!!!  I've seen other schools lose good teachers simply because they couldn't afford to raise a family on a private school salary.  This tends not to be the case when the principal cares about the teachers!!!

It depends....I'd say no because you'll never get that last 5 weeks back. There'll be another job, maybe even with better hours. I know it sounds irresponsible, but there is a lot I feel I missed out on during my last few years even of highschool. Soon enough you'll be working plenty. Enjoy it while you can :-)

As a homeschool graduate myself, I know you all are going through a lot.  It's hard to keep things together, especially if you are living on one income, like my family did.  I just want to encourage you to keep up the fight- for whatever reason you are homeschooling.  I wouldn't trade my homeschooled years for anything.  As far as homeschooling and working a full-time job, please, do whatever you can as far as putting your family on a budget, cutting back on superfluous spending and so forth, before you go out and get another job.  Part of the beauty of homeschooling is being able to spend those critical years with your children- and if you're working full-time, it's very difficult to do everything that needs to be done, let alone find time for any extracurricular activity.  The last thing you want is for you family to struggle because you don't have enough time for each other (hubby included). Let your younger children started doing chores around the house.  Your older children can help out there, too.  My mom worked cleaning houses and apartment complexes while my siblings and I were growing up, and we helped her do and earned a little money of our own on the side.  All of us worked at some sort of job outside the home by the time we were 14 years of age- some people may think that was awful that we had to do that, but some of the best lessons I ever learned, I learned on the job.  It's also a great way to teach good work ethics, honesty, reliability, dedication, etc, by EXAMPLE.  It's a better teacher than any lecture.  Best wishes to you as you continue your journey. :)

Being a teacher is probably both very stressful and very rewarding. You have a lot of responsibility but perhaps more importantly the best opportunity to help develop future generations.\n\nSome outside the profession find it hard to comprehend how complex the job is. Many "outsiders" think we just work 8:30 to 3:30 or similar and get a break every six weeks or so (well in the UK anyway). The thing is the job isn't 9-5 but it definitely isn't 8:30-3:30 either. Good teachers will always put in the extra time, whether it be working in the evenings or over the weekend. And yes we may get a break from the kids every six weeks, but it doesn't mean that we are relaxing and enjoying ourselves all the time...\n\nIf you are thinking about becoming a teacher I would thoroughly recommend it. It is a difficult job to do but it is the most rewarding job I have ever done and I wouldn't give it up for anything.\n\nIf you want more info feel free to contact me.
