How do teachers decide what teachers you will have the next year? Is it even the teachers who decide? Like in elementary school, how did my teachers know what teacher to give me the next year? In JH and HS how do my teachers know who to put me with? Is it just random or alphabetical or what?

Why do teachers ignore it when kids call each other names or pick on others? For teachers, or anyone who knows, I see time and again kids in school picking on the 'ugly' or the 'poor' kid with no interference from teachers or staff, particular in 4th and 5th graders. Is there some sort of teaching that says teachers are not to interfere when kids are interacting this way? These picked on kids come home, sometimes, in tears. What do you say?

What are some reasons for switching teachers? I'll be in an Algebra class (I'm already bad at math) where the teacher is known for having over half her class fail. It's not that she's mean, she just can't teach. Even the other Algebra teachers will tutor you if they know you have her as a teacher. What can I list as a reason for switching teachers? They might think I just want to get in a class with my friends. I'm in high school--I'll be a junior this year.

How are teachers being rated based on their performance? Every semester, we, head teachers are scheduling observation of classes in all subject areas.One is announce and the other one is an announce. We had a form in rating them based on the criteria and the observation we had for them.The problem is, although the observation is announce and they know already the criteria, they still don't follow the sequence of discussing the lesson. The result always is that there are good points and suggestions as well. We know nobody is perfect especially during this time eventhough teachers are old timer they still get nervous. Could this be the only means on rating them?

How much is the basic pay for graduate teachers in your country? In my country there a teachers who graduated with a diploma from teachers' training colleges and those who graduated from university with a bachelor's degree. The latter's pay is higher than the former. There has been a debate on teachers' salary since we think it is too low. Some members of the public do not respect our job mostly because we don't earn that much. I quote a student back in the late 90's.."I don't want to be a teacher because teachers have to do such a tedious job and yet get very little pay" I forgave her.She was only 13.

How old are most teachers when they first start teaching? I will be 22 when I graduate and start teaching...I will turn 23 shortly after i start teaching.

What type of secondary teachers work the most hours? On the secondary level, I think that English teachers work the most hours (due to all of the essays and papers that they have to grade) versus any other type of public secondary school teacher. Who agrees? What type of teacher works the least amount of hours? Why don't they pay English teachers more than say, a P.E. teacher? I am talking about hours outside of contract hours that are NOT paid. I am not talking about teachers who take up extracurricular activities like coaching or clubs because most of those activities provide the teacher a stipend.

Are teachers allowed to quit during the school year? I am a currently employed as a teacher in a public school district. I can never remember teachers leaving in the middle of the year. Are we allowed to do so (I imagine we would have to be). If so, does anyone know the proper steps to take? Do I give two weeks notice, as in other jobs? Is there someone I should contact to ask the specifics? If anyone is a teacher who has quit or thought about quitting during a school year, please advise.

What do teachers do when they get pregnant? I was wondering if a teacher would have to take a year off to have her baby if she failed to plan it to happen during the summer. Our school system doesn't have maturnity leave for teachers and I was just wondering (I want to have kids and I have trouble getting pregnant) what teachers do. If you sign a contract to teach for a year and don't sign for the next year so you can have a baby, will you still have a job? It would work out if I could take off a year, but then again, will I be able to work at the same place.

Why do the teachers at my tech school have no personality? K-12, most of the teachers I had, had personality, with the exception of some teachers. And I know quite a few college teachers and professors, and they have personality. But the teachers, at least most of them have little to no personality. Are most tech schools like this? And is there a logical explaination?

What is the most important thing that students expect from their teachers? Teachers are often ineffective because they do not understand their students. When teachers and students operate at different frequencies, both get frustrated and unproductivity sets in. Good teachers know what students expect and work sincerely to fulfill students' needs. They deliberately engage in activities that would build and strengthen their students' potential. However, many times, communication between them are closed and teachers have no way of knowing what students 'really' expect from them. An open communication will help prevent this ill-practice at schools.

Why do so many people have such a false impression about teachers? I always hear people complaining about how teachers only work 8am-2pm and get 3 months off for summer, therefore they are overpaid and the Unions are just evil organizations that don't teach children anything. I don't know about you, but I believe that developing lesson plans, preparing for parent teacher conferences, actual parent teacher meetings, staff development days, field trips and planning, plus summer school, goes WAY beyond the 8am-2pm myth. Why do people jump to conclusions so quickly? In some ways, I think teachers work harder than CEOs and lawyers but are compensated WAY less.

Teachers, what can I do to increase my effectiveness in volunteering as a science resource person? I would appreciate helpful suggestions. For the second year I will be responding to a request to help a 4th grade teacher and a 7th grade teacher (not the teachers I helped last year) by bringing to their classrooms weekly one-hour demonstrations and experiments, principally in the physical sciences. I already know eighty percent of the students. I will do the obvious: read the textbooks, encourage the teachers to choose my topics, and arrive properly prepared with a lesson plan and student worksheets or handouts. What am I overlooking? What would worry you if I were coming to your class instead of theirs?

What can be done to stop the obscenly powerful teachers unions? The collective bargaining power and political clout of teachers unions allow teachers to receive contracts that often run to more than 100 pages, and are filled with provisions for high wages, fantastic health benefits and retirement packages, generous time off, total job security, teacher transfer and assignment rights, restrictions on how teachers can be evaluated, restrictions on nonclassroom duties, and countless other rules that shackle the discretion of administrators. These contracts make the schools costly to run, heavily bureaucratic, and extremely difficult for administrators to manage. They also ensure that even the most incompetent teachers are virtually impossible to remove from the classroom. The public school system, as a result, is not even remotely the kind of institution one would design if the best interests of students were the guiding criterion. What can be done to fight these organisations? Fine. Pay for teachers may not be great (average 25,000 dollars a year to start, I believe), but so what? I wouldn't want a teacher that only cares about a paycheck. I made about the same as new teacher when I was in Iraq being shot at every other day, and I didn't complain.

How should teachers use standards to improve their teaching? In our international school we are beginning to select standards. In social studies we have chosen to use AERO standards, which are based on NCSS standards. Now teachers have been asked to look at the benchmarks under each standard and assess if that benchmark is appropriate for each grade level. It is a hard task for teachers, especially when we are confused about how standards should be choosen. Should only one standard be used per unit or multiple standards? How do standards drive instruction? How do we make sure that standards are directly connected with assessments?
