Re: Failing Student Teaching
Posted by Kate on 6/30/08
Hi this is Kate again! Thanks to everyone who responded to my post
and gave me advice on what to expect during student teaching. I'm
really excited yet anxious, but I feel I'll do well. I'm new to this
chat board, but I had no idea that the board was so concerned with
the correct use of grammar! Especially on a "chat board!" I'm glad I
didn't use things like "@", "omg" or "I betcha" in my previous post.
Most of you probably would had torn my post apart. Next time I'll
make sure that I do a draft, proof read, revise, and submit my final
thesis for approval. -Have a great day..lol....You guys are too
funny..loosen up.:)
