I think there are a lot of skills a teacher could offer in other jobs. Some things that come to mind are: dispatcher, 911 operator, manager, author, educational sales, motivational speaker, and voice over work to name a few.

It seems like there are more male teachers in high school than there are in middle school and elementary. I think it might have to do with the maturity level of the students, but I'm not sure.

I am a new teacher(15 years as a para) I just started this year in middle school. I have some really disrespectful and disruptive behaviors in two of my classes. Ignoring instructions, being loud and blurting out. Getting other students going. I am so sad for the ones that want to learn! I have called home and will again tomorrow. I just don’t know how to gain respect from these few students. Any feedback would be great.

I’m curious how many teachers give their students gifts for Christmas/winter break and/or end of the year and what types of gifts they give. I’ve done both in the past but finding it gets pricey. Looking for suggestions. Thanks!

I just recently resigned my teaching position for a position in another state to be closer to family. I will be making a lot less money (about 1/2 as much). Am I crazy to give up a high paying teaching position that took me 12 years to get to on the pay scale or is being closer to my family worth the pay cut? Anybody ever found themselves in a similar situation? I gave up tenure too. Honestly, I wasn’t happy living in my home town making the most money I've made. I guess it’s a leap of faith!
