Red-Handed Jill Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Aye - I've found life experience to be invaluable when you're a student. Well done - both of you!!
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted December 18, 2008 Author Posted December 18, 2008 Three more semsters and the PRAXIS, then it will be time to go to work! (secondary social sciences/history). You shoulda seen the look on my old high school principals face when i run into him last year and told him what i was doin! His last words to me in 1980 were; "The only reason I am signing your diploma is because nobody wants you here another year." Funny how I spent all those days skipping school, and now I want to go back? Bo
callenish gunner Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 Yeah Bo I know that feeling ....When one of my Professors told me that "because of your age and health issues, we believe you have no business going into education" ...After I warned the university about probable Federal law discrimination lawsuits; I went student teaching and was praised by my co-op teachers for my genuine passion and subject knowledge that surpassed even their own with a combined 56 years of teaching experience .....Now I just need to find a high school out there who wants a passionate/knowledgeable teacher/re-enactor who wants to teach until he croaks!
