1) Advisors do not decide what classes people have to take, nor
does it make sense that any advisor would either tell someone
they need to take a class while student teaching or failing
them as revenge for getting a waiver for a class.
2) No, an advisor can not "make" him take a class..but if she's
STing why would anyone think he needs in intro class in his
subject anyway?
3) I'm with the advisor that if ST performance is not up to par
the ST should try to limit gigging/working to focus on this
job.
4) to Kate: How to fail student teaching.. Writing how DO one..
as in "How do one write formal lesson plans in this school,
(or deal with a student who's been chatting all class, etc.)..
is a good start. I'd forgive one mistakes/type-o like that,
but the second time my ST wrote or said "how do one" I'd be
telling them they are at risk for failing if they can't show
they have mastered basic grammar. (I do teach Spanish so I'd
cut a native Spanish speaker (who's first language is not
English) some slack on grammar.. but otherwise "how do one"
is totally unacceptable.) On 6/24/08, Kate wrote:
