Depending on a child's age and sense of self, an offhand comment from Mom or Dad can feel like a shove from a bulldozer.

Two years ago I finished the school year with health problems. I spent these last two years getting healthy and I want to teach again. The charter school I was at was not sympathetic about my health and wanted a guarantee I would not be absent the next year. I couldn't promise such a thing so I resigned. I haven't used my head master as a reference...See More

Nicole/MO What? Of course, they can say negative things about you. If they asked how many days of school you missed, they may add in that it led to you not being dependable or having a negative effect on your students learning.

haha Even if you hadn't done the same job before, I would say you should strongly consider it. In my experience, a professional, competent and passionate teacher can generally do an excellent job across a wide range of ages and subjects. That doesn't mean that you (or I) can jump in and teach Calculus without the proper background knowledge but short of...See More

by markedtheory

Jun 19

I am moving to the States by end of this year through K1 visa (marriage based), and I want to be a teacher after I got married. Can I be employed as a teacher if I hold a work permit or a conditional green card?

Thanks!
