Since my English is good, I am helping some neighbors and friends improve their English. However, I haven't improved my English through any organized courses or even in school. it's been an accumulation of years and years of reading and searching for everything I need in English.

Movies have also played a pivotal role in improving my language skills.

Now, while I am trying to help others improve their English, I feel distracted about which plan I should follow with them. How can I harness my proper English to teach others the language with an organized plan?

I'll put my thoughts in a separate comment. I just wanted to hear some opinions, since I see a lot of discussion about how to fix the lower education system (K-12), but comparatively less regarding university education. Lemme know what you think!

Help! I’m a 5th year teacher and I’ve officially hit my ethical/ego wall. A parent is accusing me of targeting their kid in class but their behavior is horrible, they bring down the class. I’ve documented all of these issues with parent calls, office referrals(based on school behavior ladder). Now the parents are wanting an in person apology from me next week. The principals are obliging them and forcing me to apologize. WTH? They know this is not the case and even pulled me aside and said just apologize for them feeling that way but was not my intentions. Opinions?

tldr; working towards elementary ed CE, want to become a special ed teacher in NJ where subject area credential is required first, don't want to get another degree yet. Do I need my CEAS first or does the elementary CE count as a subject area credential?

Hi all. I am a special education paraprofessional studying for my elementary education praxis 2 for my CE via the alternative route. I'm excited to have a general education classroom, but my true passion is special education. I have a BS in psychology and don't want to spend another 10k-20k on college without first getting a teaching job. I live in NJ where a subject area credential is required to become a special education teacher. I'm wondering if it's possible to efficiently work towards becoming a TOSD while pursuing my elementary education CE and before achieving my CEAS.

Thank you!

If it's to develop fine motor skills, maybe they could be developed in a way that doesn't involve writing?

Hi. I'm a recent Chemical Engineering Graduate. I have been looking for a job for almost 8 months and still haven't got a job. I have already changed my CV to be "more appealing" to employers, which made me being called for more interviews, but still not being hired. I only have job experience working for the university; I also tried freelancing in coding and still got nothing. In retrospect, I did like my college degree, but I always wanted to work in automation technology; my college didn't offer any classes about it except for basic controls (Process Control and Dynamics I). I got an offer to do a master's degree in AI in Chemical Engineering at my college, but I think I'll get further away from what I really want. I talked to my parents and they told me they'll allow me to study a second bachelor's in Mechatronics Engineering if I so desire. Then, besides the student privileges (free MS, scholarships, studying abroad for a semester, health insurance), I can also apply to internships easier, instead of trainee positions. However, in my country, I think I'll have to study the entire degree, including basic and weed-out classes. It is kind of discouraging to see all my acquaintances and friends already working, and my family needs a higher income. I would still try to find a job, even if I'd have to put my second bachelor's on hold. What do you think?

Hi everyone:
According to you, one approach would be the approach for kids to their curriculum slowly, like adding moral science to the curriculum to make them understand what is right and wrong with stories, adding new techniques to the Singaporean curriculum for Singaporean maths also someone recommended adding the Vedic maths in the curriculum for quick calculations of mathematics equations and calculations.
What else can be added to kids ' schooling curriculum which less unheard of or is getting popular in other parts of the world?
How would teach introduce spiritual aspects of working toward ego dissolution and innovation aspects?

I’m curious about this in general, and I’m also in my 12th year of homeschooling my kids. I grew up going to public school and pretty much hated history because of having to memorize dates, names, battle locations, etc. although I have found history much more interesting while teaching it to my children, I don’t quite understand why it’s taught in such depth, even in elementary school. And curriculum that I use, or in public schools, I come across history being taught with wrote memorization and a focus on analysisand depth. To me, it seems it would be more beneficial to focus on a general overview, maybe highlighting stories of important figures. (please excuse errors as I’m using voice text and my phone won’t allow me to edit for some reason) We live in Virginia and I remember going to Mount Vernon and finding George Washington’s life really fascinating. That is how history should be taught to kids! Another example of this is my son who is currently taking general education classes at community college and wants to pursue a career in biomedical engineering. His history class is quite intense and I really don’t agree with him having to go through all of that when he’s going to forget 90% of it and it has no relevance to his chosen career. I suppose this argument could be made for other general Ed subjects but I’m just wondering about history. Even in society… Why do we have all of this focus on the past? I mean, it’s huge… There are books, historical sites, discussions, analysis, people who spend their careers focused on it. Is there another argument in favor of this other than “so we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past“? I’d love to hear thoughts on this because I feel like I must be missing something. Again, I’m not saying history should not be taught at all, I am just confused as to why it is studied in such depth or why kids/college students are required to learn it in detail. (also why do people in greater society obsess about it so much?)

Hello, everyone. I am an education researcher, and I have some questions regarding the English education systems in Indonesia and Thailand. I have done extensive research, but since Indonesian and Thai are not my native languages, searching for resources in English has been somewhat limiting. Below are my questions about the English education systems in these two countries, and I would appreciate it if you could provide citations.

⭐️ For Indonesia, I am curious about:

1.	How many weeks are there in one semester (per year)?
2.	How many minutes is each class for primary school ( Grade 1-6), primary junior high school (Grades 7-9), and senior high school (Grades 10-12)?
3.	How many English classes per week are there for junior high school in Indonesia?

I understand that schools in Indonesia begin teaching English at Grade 7.

⭐️ For Thailand, I am curious about:

1.	How many minutes is each English class for primary school (Grades 1-6), junior high school (Grades 7-9), and senior high school (Grades 10-12)?
2.	How many English classes per week are there for primary school, junior high school, and senior high school in Thailand?

Im 18 (august birthday) and homeschooled. For about 4 years of high school I slacked off and didn't do my school work as often as I should have, so now im very behind.

I should've graduated this year, but I most likely won't finish school until some time next year, and im worried that i'll struggle getting into college due to how late i'll graduate.

I plan to go to medical school, but my mom says graduating so late will look bad once I start applying for college. I know I messed up but I hope it's not as bad as I think. I currently have a 3.8 gpa so hopefully that'll help me get into a good college anyway.

edit: Thank you so much for all of the advice. <3 I'll definitely look into going to community college first and then transferring to university. I'll let my mom know that i'll be good, so she can stop worrying herself and me.😭

Would appreciate the grade of the students it's taught to, the name of the school and the country. Thanks :)

Our daughter should have graduated in 2020. She dropped out of school in 2019 because she was sick and nobody cared, turns out she had mono and the doctor didn’t tell us. Anyway I got curious what records they had so I called the school the other day to obtain her school records. They have no school records of her attendance there. I’m confused, I thought they had to keep them until they were requested, am I wrong?

U.S. school districts are starting to switch from diesel to electric buses, boosted by a $5 billion federal grant program. There is urgency to phasing out diesel, experts say, as children are highly vulnerable to air pollution. A recent study found districts that phased out older diesel buses saw a boost in attendance and test scores. Read more.

I have one class, Econ Micro that uses Cengage with MindTap . I have two other classes that don't use it but I saw that Cenage has test prep material for those classes. I have a learning disability and I could use all the help I can receive. Is Cenage Unlimited worth the $129.99 just for what I described? The other two classes are Managerial Accounting and Marketing if that matters,

I think its high time education was put at the top of our agenda, and politics aside (as far as that's possible) I'm pretty excited at the prospect of having Tim Walz as VP simply because he has real practical experience. Do you think this will translate into policy, or will the impact be minimal? Eager to hear some thoughts

My son attends a Pre-K through 12 private school. This is his first year there so my wife and I are still adapting to the ways of private school (so far, it's been great). It has recently come to our attention that annual donations appear to be expected but there is no minimum amount specified and there do not appear to be any consequences for donating a small amount or not donating at all. The school's focus appears to be getting 100% participation. From my research, this appears to be a common practice. Tuition is already a lot of money. What do you think an appropriate annual donation amount would be? My initial thoughts were to just check the box with an annual donation of $100-200.

TeXmacs and its fork Mogan are open source and allow you write up math/science documents with quality similar to LaTeX but via a WYSIWYG editor.

Unlike LyX, TeXmacs/Mogan are not based on LaTeX/TeX and provide true WYSIWYG editing.

Have you considered using TeXmacs/Mogan in your math/science class?

This has been a lingering question with the drivers and monitors way before recently. No one seems to have an answer for us. Any insight or advice would be appreciated. I get extremely anxious about it.

It's not just about typing speed. Looking at the keyboard while typing is a major distraction.

Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right subreddit but I will ask anyways 😅 I am 19F, just need some advice on how I can become a teacher. I’ve been researching a little into it but it’s all confusing me. Some context, I finished sixth form last year but was only able to get 2 A levels due to suffering from something traumatic, which resulted in me taking too much time off from college. I’ve been in and out of jobs but not really found anything secure. Recently I was thinking of pursuing a career in primary school teaching. I also have a few months of work experience as a teaching assistant with a tuition company.

University is not an option as I don’t have the A levels to apply for an undergraduate course. What are my options? I can’t find anything online as my situation is different. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated 😊

Not sure where else to ask this.

I teach an elective for upperclassmen at my school. This year, my course was approved to offer early college credit for students as it fulfills the same requirements as the university 101 level course on the same subject.

Unfortunately, the program fee to earn credit is $300 and many of my students can't afford this. I know the College Board offers waivers for students receiving free or reduced lunch, but since this program is directly through the university, there is no discount available (I asked).

I'm looking to apply for a grant or scholarship that can help my students fund this opportunity, if they're interested. Does anyone have any info on how to go about this or organizations to reach out to?

I need to complete 3 grade 12 courses (English, Math/Chem, Biology) in order to complete my High School Diploma and I want to take my courses online (I am 24). I have taken a few courses in the past and actually liked it way more than going into a classroom as I was comfortable in my own home and was able to set my own schedule.

I want to get a job as soon as possible so completing these courses is my main goal. I am confident that my quality of work won't suffer as I am a perfectionist when it comes to my work. Do you think it's possible to complete these courses before mid-2025? Has anyone been able to complete a course in a fast amount of time with good grades?

I ,M19, am studying to take my ASVAB. I have test prep book but I find it hard to focus when I try to study. I can sit down in a quiet room with zero distractions and my thoughts still wonder. What are good ways to help keep my focus on the task at hand?

im trying to figure out the best way to do online school for my senior year, ive been in school for a few weeks and im just over it and ready to be done, i have anxiety and remote learning is just so much easier for me. i only need english 12 and gov to graduate. what program would be my best bet, and will this affect me getting into college ??

Here is where Trump and Harris stand on 6 education issues

I dropped out of HS 10 years ago and got a GED. Since then, i’ve completed a fair amount of community college credits towards a transfer-degree to Sac State (I live in California).

The issue is I have zero language credits because I dropped out of HS. They’re offered at the community college and I’m told I have to take 2 semesters of it in order to transfer. I guess it’s pretty standard for all transfer degrees to require that since most people have already fulfilled language credits from graduating HS. (I’d give anything to go back in time and knock sense into my 15 year old self)

Does anyone know if there’s ANY way to bypass having to take a language in order to transfer and eventually get a BA/BS?

Thank you
