As contentious as it (understandably) is, relocation money
& rent assistance was promised. More than halfway through
the schoolyear, I still have not rec'd any of it and am
wondering how widespread this is. I'm considering looking
in to filing a class action lawsuit.

One person writing the activities for a specific subject.
And to top that, many are not even writing for the grade
level they have experience teaching. So, the third grade
Math CC may be written by a first grade teacher who has
never taught third grade in their life!!! They are
getting a nice chunk of cash, too.
interesting...

I am currently a teacher in Texas, but I am possibly
looking to relocate. I want to be close to TX due to the
fact that my family lives here, but I am losing a lot of
money by being a TX teacher. You can belong to a union but
cannot use any of their services, we pay into social
security but cannot collect it when we retire, and we are
not given permanent contracts until after we have been with
a district for five years. That means for five years we
have no rights, can be fired with no reason. Is LA like
this, and, if not, what are some good districts near the
TX/LA border? TIA.

I am looking for field trip ideas for our fourth grade
students. Our school is located in Lafayette and we would
like to take our students on an end of the year trip that
is educational but fun. It would be helpful if the trip
somehow addressed the GLEs in the curriculum, even
remotely. Any ideas?

Hi, I'm interested in Joing a postcard ex-change. Anyone up

As someone who is in a similar position to Adriana, I
certainly appreciate any and all views and, being the
intelligent woman that I am, can take it all with a grain
of salt, do my own research, and make up my own mind. I
find it truly off-putting and counter-productive to
gleefully denounce people who have alternate points of view
and celebrate their being unwelcome to post their
experience and views. I find that kind of close-mindedness
and judgment terribly eroding intellectually and
spiritually, and I can only hope that those who are trying
to kick folks off the boards are NOT teachers themselves.
Kids do not need THAT as an example of how to communicate
effectively or engage in debate.
I, for one, am well aware of the downside and dangers in
New Orleans specifically right now; one of the reasons I am
searching on the internet, and found this forum, is for
just this kind of on-the-ground information. I have not
been back to NOLA in a few years, and I don't have the
funds to get there for a fact-finding on my own prior to
the short timeline I face with TeachNOLA. However, clearly,
I also know so much of the good of NOLA, else why would I
want to go there to take on a new job, new life, etc?
So, thank you all, especially Mrs. D., for explicating your
personal experience and views. I wasn't looking for a NOLA
pep rally, so I'm grateful.

Warning!!! No one wants to come to Morehouse to work
anymore. No supplys are given to teachers and getting
qualified help in the classrooms is a joke. Teachers are
lied to constantly by central office and some of the
principals are a joke. Technology has become a joke in
this parish along with getting supplies and help. The only
thing Morehouse Parish is concerned with is their
football. Well football teams come and go! A student's
education is lifetime.
Let's talk about the school board now. They hire a man
that most teachers can not stand. Did they ask the
teachers' opinnon? He knows nothing about early childhood
because his only experience is at the high school level. He
is a bald-headed, hot-tempered man. Yes! That is Tom
Thrower. Lets see....how long it will take Morehouse
Parish School Board to fire this one. Oh, yeah, that's
right...they got to wait till he spends all the money the
way he wants to and then they will decide to do something.
When will they ever learn? Not soon enough for me, I am
leaving this year. The aggravation is not worth it. I
guess the school board is still trying to figure out why
highly-qualified teachers are not applying in Morehouse.
Duh.... Who would want to work in schools that have no art
classes, muisic classes, libraries, etc..? Oh, but they
have a football team!! That really makes the difference.

Can't say that I am the least bit surprised by this.
Teachers are still waiting to be paid for their Credit
Recovery hours from the 06-07 school year. Several of my new
colleagues have also expressed that they have yet to see a
dime of their recruitment incentives.
The people in the payroll departm...See More
