I'm a retired Utah teacher, having taught most elementary grades, gifted/talented, and special ed classes. I'm looking for somewhere to donate several boxes of materials that could be useful to new teachers, or anyone looking to augment their "stash". With funding so scarce, it seems a shame to just chuck it all. Any ideas?
I am concerned that I will not be able to effectively help my students with calculus and trigonometry homework and don't feel like I am confident enough to take this teaching position. I signed a contract and school starts in the 24th of this month. I want to break my contract ASAP. What would be the repercussions. Hailey

Tip to use Alejandro's books in the classroom: Several schools are using Alejandro's books, "books written by a peer", as following: 1.- they give the students a chapter to read 2.- they discuss the chapter in class 3.- they ask the kids to write something similar based on their own personal experiences.
