Todd Serveto replied to Paul Sappington's discussion Interview This Week...Advice from Teachers Welcome"Good! Middle school is a specialized area all in its own right. It's not a "second-fiddle" position by any means. Some people totally get into the middle-school years, become quite skilled at it, and choose to make…"
Paul Sappington replied to Paul Sappington's discussion Interview This Week...Advice from Teachers Welcome"I just completed the interview. It took an unexpected turn though. The High School position was filled with a Jr. High teacher who requested a transfer, so I ended up interviewing for the Jr. High spot for 7th grade mathematics. I…"
Todd Serveto replied to Paul Sappington's discussion Interview This Week...Advice from Teachers Welcome"Let us know how it goes, Paul--despite my previous comments, I've known some alternatively certified teachers who did turn out to be good and who ended up doing a great job. Wishing you every success!"
Nick H replied to Paul Sappington's discussion Interview This Week...Advice from Teachers Welcome"I've removed my comment."
Paul Sappington replied to Paul Sappington's discussion Interview This Week...Advice from Teachers Welcome"Thanks for your honesty and insight. The interesting thing in my state is that uncertified teachers must already be hired before they can apply for alternative certification.
I'm using what I remember from my previous classes to build a…"
Todd Serveto replied to Paul Sappington's discussion Interview This Week...Advice from Teachers Welcome"I teach high school myself, and frankly, Paul, I'm ambivalent about the whole alternative certification thing. They say they want "highly qualified" teachers providing "world-class" education--but paying for it is…"

Hello all,I wasn't sure if I should start this as a new thread or add to an old thread that I had posted a year ago. In the old thread, I told about my experience as a secondary education major in a community college before dropping out of the program and feeling lost since that foolish decision.Last week I saw an ad in the paper for a math teacher's position in the local high school, so I gave it a shot. I filled out the online application, and in the cover letter I admitted my lack of…See More
Paul Sappington replied to Noluckbuck's discussion First time car buyer..."When you get your car, shop around for insurance, of course, and get your car registered by your local license office. Most likely there will be a personal property tax (state and/or local) and a registration fee. Periodic safety…"
Paul Sappington replied to Dylan Palme's discussion how to deal with a jerk boss"A word of warning...if you are looking for other opportunities, keep absolutely quiet until you are offered another job.

Paul Sappington replied to Ben's discussion Did your Grandfather or Great Grandfather fight in WW2?"My grandfather was a sniper for the 88th Infantry division, a.k.a. the Blue Devils. I don't know any detailed stories, but the war did take a toll on his mental health. He suffered severe mental breakdowns from Post-War Syndrome…"
Jess Levens replied to Paul Sappington's discussion Dances Every Man Should Know"Waltz and two-step are good to know, not too difficult. By the way, the Harlem Shake videos are a joke. It's not a real dance."
Manfred Alan replied to Paul Sappington's discussion Dances Every Man Should Know"Personally I learned the Latin dances such as salsa, merengue, cumbia. I live in Texas and Latina women love to dance. I also learned many of the line dances such as electric slide, Cupid shuffle, and Cleveland shuffle. Those songs are played…"
