She and Reid need to get a clue as to what our country needs. TRIM THE FAT and make it work. We don't need millions of $'s going to such BS programs!! We are going to go belly up just like Japan! Is that what we want?!?! I'm am so tired of the the Dems. taking MY money and spreading MY wealth to those who sit on their ass#s and do nothing all day! Why does our liberal govt. feel that we need to continue to entitle this trash of our society?!? GET A JOB.......NOW!!!!!! I understand there are a very SMALL percentage of those on welfare and who collect food stamps that truly need it. The VAST majority acctually COULD work, but don't because they get free money. Would YOU work if you could smoke cigs and drink Budweiser on a daily basis? The worst part is, they continue to produce offspring. This just leads to a vicious cycle. I say women should only be allowed to have one child until they are off welfare. If they can't get a job in a year, fix them like a cat so they can't have any more. This would help the poor children that don't get the money that is intended for them because momma spent it on cigs, booze and dope. Am I being mean here?? No. I'm just stating the facts and the truth that our liberal government and media refuse to address. Welfare was NOT meant as a means to give free money to lazy ass@d people on a lifetime basis. It was meant to serve as a bridge to help those who BECAME unemployed until they were able to get back on their feet again. This process was meant to be and used to be a brief period of time so they wouldn't jeopardize our economy. Now look at what has happend to this program!! Complete and utter abuse! The worst part is, our government ALLOWS it!! My blood pressure is boiling. I need to go!!
Hello All,
I was able to find the following company that provides a workbook that teaches children about entrepreneurship and writing a business plan:

Does anyone know of any other resources that I can use?
What is going on? Where is anyone who actually cares about teachers, be they novice or veteran? Aren't we supposed to care about ourselves? Where is the solidarity and all of that good stuff? Let us know what's going on. We are not alone.

Theater J’s 2009 – 2010 Season
ZERO HOUR Written & Performed by Jim Brochu Directed by Piper Laurie August 29–September 27 Channeling Zero Mostel’s wild moods, crazy humor and righteous anger, James Brochu reintroduces us to this funny, fantastically contrary man whose penchant for truth- telling has been sorely missed. Will Mostel overcome his bitterness about being blacklisted and go back to work with the legendary director who named names before Congress?
LOST IN YONKERS By Neil Simon Directed by Jerry Whiddon October 21–November 29 In a remarkable coming-of-age story that won 4 Tony Awards and a Pulitzer Prize, two brothers are left to fend for themselves in a dysfunctional household with their formidable immigrant grandmother, sweet but simple-minded aunt and a hoodlum of an uncle. This classic American tale is simultaneously comic and poignant. Featuring Holly Twyford and Tana Hicken.
THE FOUR OF US By Itamar Moses Directed by Daniel DeRaey January 20–February 21 When Ben’s first novel vaults him into literary stardom, his best friend David, a struggling playwright, is thrilled for his newfound success...or is he? This poignant play explores the nature of friendship, memory and what happens when your dreams come true—for your best friend. “A clever comic drama with a nifty twist” –The New York Times
MIKVEH By Hadar Galron Directed by Shirley Serotsky May 5–June 5 Part of Voices from a Changing Middle East: Voice of the Woman Inside the secretive world of the ritual bath, eight women’s stories unfold in this sensitive depiction of religious observance and evolving feminist consciousness. A knowledgeable examination of traditions and ritual, this hit Israeli play explores the ever evolving position of women in Israeli society. (Note: this play contains nudity.) This show is part of VOICES FROM A CHANGING MIDDLE EAST: VOICE OF THE WOMAN, which will feature readings of plays by female Israeli and Arab authors.
NEW JERUSALEM THE INTERROGATION OF BARUCH DE SPINOZA AT TALMUD TORAH CONGREGATION: AMSTERDAM, JULY 27, 1656 By David Ives Directed by Jeremy Skidmore June 26–July 25 In this witty theological drama, philosopher and accused apostate Baruch de Spinoza faces excommunication from the Jewish community. “Mr. Ives’s humor has always mixed the cerebral with the silly... his daring leap into metaphysics is… an engrossing primer on Spinoza’s radical thinking.” – The New York Times Featuring Alexander Strain.
Special Events: MOMMY QUEEREST Written & Performed by Judy Gold December 16–January 3 From the creator of 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother, comedian Judy Gold is back in this edgy, multi-media comic memoir with original music featuring her hysterical take on being a working gay mom, anti-depressants, nursing homes, and raising two boys in New York City.
ANDY WARHOL: GOOD FOR THE JEWS Written & Performed by Josh Kornbluth Directed by David Dower March 6–March 21 DC favorite Josh Kornbluth considers the pop-art enigma who was commissioned to paint ten Jewish notables like Einstein, Gershwin, and Golda. In wrestling with Warhol’s motives and style, Kornbluth uncovers his religious identity and the spiritual dimensions of Warhol’s art.
IN DARFUR By Winter Miller March 31–April 18 *Part of Voices from a Changing Middle East: 2010 Festival Based on true events, this impeccably researched chronicle of unfolding genocide in Sudan is a searing story of humanitarian urgency and compromised journalistic ethics. Can one woman’s story stand for the plight of a nation? And what are the costs of mobilizing world opinion?
I will try to make this as short as possible. My wife and I will be moving to DC next year, and my wife hopes to start a job as a foreign language teacher.

She is a native Mandarin teacher, fluent in both French and English. She's got a very good, international academic background and experience teaching in both Taiwan and the US.
There is a school that is interested in hiring her to start a Mandarin program, but we are now trying to figure out how to go about getting her certified to teach in DC. So far, we've been told that she has to take the Praxis I & II.
As we collect all the information we need to get ready for the Praxis tests, I'm curious about work/study sort of programs for Mandarin teachers in the US. I've heard of government programs that try to get Mandarin teachers in American classrooms, but I don't know exactly how that applies to us. I also know that some states have programs that allow people to start teaching while also taking classes to get an education degree.
Does anyone know about these sorts of programs and if they exist in DC? Is anyone familiar with DC programs? I've found something called "Transition to Teaching," but I don't know if our situation applies.
If you need any more information or if anything is not clear, please ask. I'll be happy to clarify.
I recently applied for an ESL teaching position in DC. I have a BA in English, MA in TESOL,certified in two states, experience nationally and internationally, but have not taken the Praxis Exam in my content area. Will I have any problems getting hired without taking the exam?
