HELP FOR TEACHERS WHO ARE JUST STARTING OUT OR WHO HAVE RUN INTO A SITUATION THEY HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED BEFORE.

WE ALL NEED HELP!

I taught full time for fifteen years and am now subbing so that I can finish my novel. I don't have all the answers. None of us do. In fact, even if something works great for me, there is no guarantee it will work for you.
I hope that we will give each other suggestions. I went to all the trainings I could get my principal to approve when I taught full-time. I talked to a lot of teachers. AND I just kept trying things until I found something that worked FOR ME. We can not go against our own nature. Kids can sense that and will test us.
So, don't give up. Keep on trying new things and always know that there is a place to go where you can be anonymous and speak freely.
Best of Luck to all of you. Our children deserve the best that we can offer.

Mexico's students inquiry rejected via @Linkis_com

Mexico's students inquiry rejected via @Linkis_com

I normally don't post political stuff here, but this is a damn shame! When did Mexico get so damn corrupt?!
Well, I know about the Girls of Juarez (I know longer call them women as most were under 20 years old.)
They were all from very poor Mexican families. I guess once they got away with that, they figured they could act with total impunity!
