1st Amendment is not carte blanch Aside from the fact that this is a privately owned forum who owner reserves the right to limit discussions, the 1st Amendment does NOT protect free speech which may contain a criminal element, i.e. libel. I am not saying your question or the initial response fell under that, just using it as an example as to why a forum owner might kill a thread wi...See More

school year round

by confused

Mar 13, 2013

Did I hear this right ont he radio this morning? The state senate passed the Govenors bill that would have school going year round and all kinds of other BS crap like teachers working more days with no pay increase and other garbage? Please tell me I missed half of what was being talked about on the radio.

cat Didn't we get the 43 week cap in lieu of a pay raise? it seems everything we have gotten "in lieu" of a raise has now been taken away or we pay for now. I am not against year round school, but there are ways to do it so that the school year has less gaps, but equal days off. 2 or 3 weeks between quarters can be used for make up days due to snow, et...See More

Senate Bill Decision

by Concerned Parent

Mar 18, 2013

I am concerned that my special needs child will not be getting the best qualified teacher but rather just someone who is college educated with the passage of this bill. Is this a correct assumption?

class size/sending kids to a different school

by frustrated mom

Apr 25, 2013

What rights do I have to keep my daughter at the elementary school she should attend?? To try to keep this short, the school is proposing sending 5 children to another school in the system (about 15 miles away) instead of hiring another teacher and splitting the class. There are 30 kids in kindergarten now. They decided at the last minute last year...See More

Teacher friends/groups???

by Dr. Watters

Jun 8, 2013

Hi! I'm seeking input regarding what professional teacher groups teachers really belong. I often advise per-service teachers to join KappaDelta Pi, NAEYC, CEC, etc... But, do in-service teachers really belong to these groups?

What other possibly local groups do you belong?
