I'm doubtful that many posters are aware of this board's purpose so I have linked to a thread on another board which offers many valid points about the absence of the Primary Grades board.
Hi, I had posted a message on second grade chat board, and had one other problem. When I read a post, I then click return to chatboard button, but it doesn't take me back to the chatboard. It takes me to the latest 25 messages page.
I'd like to discuss or request a chatboard for charter schools. I'd be willing to "start it off" if needed.
Would there be interest in creating a Title I chatboard? I feel that Title I teachers have a unique set of challenges and it would be great to have a place to chat about it.

These are tough times for everybody, but schools seem to be especially hard hit with budget cuts. I'd like to see a chatboard where we can share ideas of ways to save money in the classroom, and maybe even some tips about how to economize at home.

I created The Imagination Factory after my principal cut my budget from $1,000 to $250 for the second semester. Making art out of items most people throw away is not a new idea. However, the site has an environmental message, too, and it's organized in a way that makes it easy to find art activities based on the materials you have.

I am in the process of writing a Capstone dissertation project: Addressing Unethical Conduct in U.S. Public Education (USPE) in support of educators and students nationwide.
I am submitting this survey to educational professionals (I sent out 7 to educators that I know and only 2 came back). I need to gather first hand, current information in support of this project. Kindly feel free to answer questions that you are comfortable answering. Any additional advice, comments or suggestions are most certainly.
I have until mid to July to complete this document AND submit a video or power point presentation of it so kindly email it to me at your earliest convenience. Thank you so much. Respectfully, Julie [email removed]
MAJOR QUESTION ANSWERED BY MY PRESENTATION: What is the course of action for training public school employees (thus providing them the tools they need…) and educating public school students, pursuit of improving conduct and increased control toward creating better learning environments for U.S. Public School (USPS) educators and students?
HERE IS MY POINT OF ALL THIS: In lieu of the fact that we all know that parents should be the primary source of teaching appropriate conduct to their children (as hard as we try, we cannot force this to happen because some of them don’t have it themselves), the disintegration of our youth’s general conduct and lack of respect continues to increase. Students attending public schools for 7 hours, 5 days a week for approximately 10 months for 13 years have an opportunity to learn what expected and appropriate behavior is in school and in society if it were inserted into the curriculum K – 12. Presently, we are missing this opportunity. Our educators need to be given the training, support and devices to make this happen so that they can TEACH without ongoing dangers, disruption, etc. Institutions outside of the public school system are applying programs in support of maintaining higher ethical standards of teachers and students with marked success, so shouldn’t it be the obligation of the U.S. Public Education Department to step up to the plate and provide Public Educators with whatever is needed to make this happen? I believe so and for that reason I have taken on this enormous project of gathering facts, first to show what is in place concerning this topic, and also what negative issues are increasing and recurring that need attention. Finally I will conclude with some successful alternatives for consideration in developing betters strategies within the U.S. Public systems.
