Anyone else learning Spanish?

I've been working on my Spanish for a few years. My speaking is Intermediate Low (ACTFL level) but I decided to push to the next level this summer.

Have you found any reading materials that will help improve school vocabulary?

No, I was learning Chinese due to caseload. I got the look then comment… why they need to learn English. I’m sure this is applicable to all languages.

It's a shame that other educators can be so shortsighted and close minded. Before we get any such comments here, here are the reasons teachers can benefit from learning a second language.

1. It makes it easier to facilitate the learning of English. You can provide better feedback if you know something about their first language.

2. It makes communicating with the parents easier. While school districts often provide translators, you can make an actual connection with the parents if you can meet them halfway.

3. It will give you a better perspective of other cultures. Anything that can make us relate better is a good thing.

Student loans- My friend told me her student loan payments have started and she is shocked by how much is pulled out of her paycheck. How are teachers expected to make ends meet? Is is better to have loans deferred until you make more money? She might need to move back home with her parents just to make ends meet. Any advice?

Me and another teacher had a meeting with a parent and student. After the meeting, the admin asked us both to stay. He shut the door and yelled at me for not apologizing to the student (the other teacher did before the meeting and I 100% wanted to, but I felt like the opportunity wasn't there - and yes, I know I should have). Tomorrow I plan on apologizing to the student. But do I say something to the admin for yelling at me in front of a coworker? Or let it go.
