What form of standardized testing do you use@ your school?

by Linda

Nov 17, 2009

We are doing away with our state's version (as are many other private schools,) but now we are discussing what to switch to.

Can you please tell me what your school uses and do or don't you like using it.

Thanks, Linda

lunch duty

by Susan

Nov 21, 2009

At my school teachers are required to have lunchroom duty every 3 weeks. On some days I don't have a resource until 2:00 so that means I have no break (even bathroom) until 2:00. I'd like to know if this is typical of other private school? Before this I taught in public school and teachers were entitled to a duty-free lunch. Thanks.

certifiedteach I would assume your state has work laws that say all workers must have a lunch time, whether paid or unpaid. So, do you get a lunch and then go in to work duty? If not, I would research the labor laws in your state. That is all I can recommend. I teach in a parochial school, and we get lunch as required by law.

MET At my private school, I serve the students hot lunch. I can eat with them if I wish. Regarding use of bathroom, I assign a responsible student to be in charge so that I may use the facilities and rest of the students are engaged with desk work.

Hi Rob, I teach French in a college prep boarding/day school in MA. Many of us do have advanced degrees but not all.

Jean Bullock Too late to do anything about it this year, but for next year, speak to the Principal and ask her or him to say something before the rehearsals about keeping positive and remembering that Christian behavior is expected of the faculty.

From a teachers perspective, when selecting schools? What should I look for in a private school? What should I look for in a Montessori school?
