FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).

This week I would like you to use your imagination. You have just won the lottery and will leave your teaching post immediately to travel around the world. As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!

Frustrated

I am having issues with students. Here it is 7 weeks into school and I keep getting new kids in program not that it's a bad thing , but it is very hard to keep trying to make sure the others get caught up. I got another today and we are already in chapter 7 . I am just hoping that she can some how stay afloat they didn't even say if she had Cosmetology at her other school so who knows. I am trying to give her enough handout that she has some idea what's going on at least that's the plan. Does anyone else have a suggestion? I am just venting but help would be great. I hope everyone is doing well.

Dustin said...: I have the same problem. I have an advanced class that keeps getting first semester freshmen. First, I made them take the mandatory Safety test after they did the open-book handouts. It was tough for the new students to do bookwork, but when I told them they had to to be able to use the lab, they seemed to get through it quickly, but some just didn't care either way. It's such a huge problem at my school because of the transplant students rate being so high.; September 21, 2010 at 12:02:00 AM EDT
