Has anyone tried to use the MPB/Hotchalk service? I have signed up and have accessed it several times to find video clips to use. It is certainly is not a fair replacement for United Streaming!!! Maybe I'm doing something wrong...all I know is that I want my United Streaming back!!
This is definitely off any education subject, but I find that Mississippi teachers are much more in the know than the rest of the US realizes. Maybe you can answer my question. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April '07- had chemo, surgery, more chemo, radiation, etc. I hear people say they are a cancer survivor of x yrs. I know many say that ...See MoreThis is definitely off any education subject, but I find that Mississippi teachers are much more in the know than the rest of the US realizes. Maybe you can answer my question. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April '07- had chemo, surgery, more chemo, radiation, etc. I hear people say they are a cancer survivor of x yrs. I know many say that we become a "survivor" when we are initially diagnosed, but does that mean that I am now a survivor for 19mts.? or just from when I finished treatment (July '08), or when my scans are clear and have also finished all treatment? This may sound a little odd, but I am not able to ask my oncologist since my husband accompanies me to all my appts. and I try not to make him any more uncomfortable than he already is-he has had a very hard time accepting this (sometimes, more than I have). I appreciate the fact that you are even reading this. Teachers are busier than just about ANY professional that I know of!! Thanks!
Hello MS teachers,
Is there a way to find out what the local supplement is for each school district? If anyone knows what the local supplement is in a particular district, could you post it. Thanks. I appreciate your help.

I 've taught everyone from 6 to 70. I want to come home to Mississippi and teach my last 10 years. All I have to do is renew my license. I am part of the heritage of the south.
I am in need of some serious help here. I feel like I am getting disrespected more and more lately. I don't know what to do. I am following my classroom rules and consequences. Everytime a student gets into trouble they throw into my face that I started it, that I am trying to get them kicked off of the football team, that they are going to get me ...See MoreI am in need of some serious help here. I feel like I am getting disrespected more and more lately. I don't know what to do. I am following my classroom rules and consequences. Everytime a student gets into trouble they throw into my face that I started it, that I am trying to get them kicked off of the football team, that they are going to get me into trouble, that their friends will back up their story, or that I am treating some better then I do others. I am at the end of my ropes here. I understand that there things that I could do better and I understand that I am very new at this and I am probably doing things wrong. However, that is not a reason for the kids to just run over me. They blame it on my hormones and that is not it, in fact I am nicer when I am pregnant than when I am not. I am tired of the students screaming at me and disrespecting me when all I am doing here is trying to help them to succeed. I think about how I am away from my babies everyday and how they are pretty much being raised by someone else to come here and be disrespected by someone else's child. I try to be nice to them and ask them about their day or about their weekend and then I get it turned around on me that I am bringing personal issues into the classroom. My students feel as if I am favoring certain students because some students do not get the same punishment as some of the other students who do the exact same thing that they do. I do not understand it and I am not the one punishing the students. However, I get blamed if my write up causes a student to get kicked off of the football team because it is their 3rd time in ISD and that there are still students who have been in ISD 4 or 5 times and still out there playing on Friday night. I don't make that call, yet I am the one who gets blames. Same goes for ISD time and who gets licks and who gets suspended. I don't know what else to do. I love what I do and I spent a long time to get my degree. I went through over $50,000.00 in student loans, took time away from my children and husband, struggled through years of college while my family done without and this is my reward for that. All I ever wanted to do was help students who struggled and now everyday I would rather stand in a long welfare line than come to work. I never thought that it would be this way and some tell me that it is just because I am a new teacher. But this is all I ever wanted to do...What are your suggestions on what I should do? Should I just call it quits now and go to walmart to work or what??? I need some help because I feel as if I am not only making my students unhappy but I am also turning into a person that I never intended to be...

Can you please post what you pay in health insurance premiums as a teacher? Also what state you teach in and what your deductible is.
Can anyone share a creative way of teaching sentence structure. My students and I are tire of the same, dull, book lessons.
