Re #121 - what I meant was that teachers are paid (not well) to teach subjects
and be role models. While they may end disciplining and teaching manners to
spoiled brats, they shouldn't HAVE to, and some parents (who are alerted to
their child's hellish behaviour) have an "I don't care... you spend eight hours
a day with them... YOU teach them manners" attitude.
If parents would do their jobs, the teachers could do THEIR jobs more
effectively and would probably stick with the profession a lot longer. That
was my point.

IBB a really comfortable pair of shoes that were also nice-looking
has completely bit the dust, and I have no idea where I can find
anything like them despite watching for years.

re 125:
I'll counter that by saying that those who are good at their jobs (in
general; this is in no way unique to teachers) are those who are good at
dealing with the environment that's there, not just the environment they'd
like to exist. I have seen some teachers handle that sort of situation
wonderfully.

I don't think that "counters" #125. In fact, it supports it. The fact reamins,
the teachers have to "handle that sort of situation", but you'd have more
teachers doing it effectively if parents did their "job" more effecitvely.

re #131: It seems to me that Rane is the one advocating for a substantial
change in American habits and happyboy is the one recommending dealing with
things as they are, rather than as we'd like them to be.

If Americans always dealt with things as they are, there'd be no United
States.

Some people seem to think that improvements are either undesirable or
impossible. Why must we settle for "things as they are"?

I'd say that actually changing things is working with the environment, while
complaining that something can't be done because the environment hasn't
changed isn't.

IBB I've been trying to spider the web sites of spammers to
drive up their bandwidth bills, but every site I've gotten
to has already been taken down before I can do my part. ;-)

Sarah pretty much said what I was trying to get at. I will teach the
subjects required. I will give them extra help if they need it. I will
grade their work fairly. But I can't be a parent.

Re: 138, don't count on getting it that fast. When STeve got his he went in
for the sleep study which determined that he needed one. Then he had to set
another appointment for another sleep study to determine which pressure
setting was needed. He had his stroke at the end of September 2001. He got
the referral to the sleep study program in mid October, he finally got the
machine in January. And that was with his neurologist playing interferance
to get him through the system faster, before having another stroke.

Re 106: I am student teaching in the small town of Holt, Michigan,
which is just south of Lansing. I am in a classroom with 4 Geometry
classes and an Algebra 2. I am in a building with grades 10-12 in it,
and we have students of every grade level in every single one of our
classes. My "focus class", or the one that I am the main teacher of
from the beginning of the year until I leave, is 3rd hour geometry.
They're fun. They're smart, if not always well behaved. We've also
had more time to work out our kinks with each other than the other
classes which I haven't taught much (I taught 2nd hour for two weeks).
My cooperating teacher is cool (and I don't just say that because he's
sitting on a desk 5 feet away ;) ). In some ways my student teaching
placement is idyllic... I'm in a school where I really like the
educational environment, and the math department is really cool.
How is Cara's CT territorial?

The AA News used to have a worse critic than Potter. Can't remember
his name though.

I dont really understand why the AA News keeps Christopher Potter on
staff. I havent ever met a single person who liked his reviews except
for a couple people who like him because his tastes are exactly
opposite from their's. i.e. if he likes a movie, they hate it. If he
*really* likes a movie, they *really hate it.
