Obscure question about WDW trivia

[Yukinon]

WHAT!?!?!?! I have 4th graders who can't count by 5s and 10s and 2nd graders who have no clue that a dime is 10 cents. Math for them should be more like counting how many boogers they ate that day. Science? I guess there are always the seasons, weather, and simple machines. Literacy? They are 3 and 4! THey arent supposed to be literate! That is why they are in preschool. I guess you can always read them a story and hope for the best. Do you team teach or are you by yourself?

Team teach thank goodness! I couldn't take 19 little kids all on my own!

I was thinking for science - have them planting seeds and watch them grow?? I dunno, no matter what I do the management will find fault with it... and I will have to make sure nobody starts snacking on potting soil...

Yeah and the counting money - I'm just going to show them the money and let them play with it! I'll tell my supervisor that they are "exploring" the "idea" of money, that it will come naturally (thats the line they give us all the time about things!)

We should rename this thread to the teachers lounge :lol:

I am located on the Wisconsin / Minnesota border. I have been looking for a teaching job for four years and have yet to get hired. I went back to school as a 40 year old non-traditional. I teach all social studies classes, including economics, and I still have not gotten hired. I am limited in moving because my wife has an excellent job at the University here in town. It has been a real struggle to stay afloat and upbeat about my situation. AND because I have not gotten hired, we don't have the cash to return to WDW. ( which I am dying to do....)

So don't complain about your co-op teacher, if they get you a job.. for me its been four years of hard knocks...

Aww thats really too bad... are you only certified in social studies? Have you thought of just getting an elementary certification? Even if your not teaching in social studies to start with it may open a door for you to get a job, then you can bid in on a social studies job... just an idea.

As for me I am certified in early childhood and elementary education, and my focus was always on the early childhood - but when I was in college my advisor worked with me to really get my elementary certification so that I would look more marketable. Then, even if I got a job teaching an older grade it would be a job to get me in a school then to bid on a job I really wanted.

Is it hard to get teaching jobs in your town? I know its very difficult in my town because there are 3 Universities that are well-known for putting out great teachers. That is why the only way you can get into our public school system is to know somebody! That's why I'm just hanging tight in Head Start land, my dream would be to teach in the school district when they finally incorporate their preschool program - that would be a dream! Great pay, top benefits, and early retirement
