What do teachers/educators look for in a website?
Q. I'm a young teacher that wants to start an education site. It would be along the lines of lesson plans, activities, student exchanges, etc. Any input could be very helpful! Thanks.

A. Well, this may not be what you want to hear, but it needs to be free. Also, I would make it specific. You'll have problems if you try to have stuff for K-12 and all content areas. Be Mr. Math or something like that. You should point teachers to other web sites, offer "Tips" and "Sites" of the day, but then have a specific tool you offer like clip art, streaming video. Problem is, there are tons of sites out there already that do great things, and are cheap. Breaking into that will be hard to do by yourself b/c most of these sites are run by cable companies like Discovery Channel and publishers. There aren't a lot of sites for classroom management, but the one's that are out there are pretty popular already, and a young teacher won't… [cont.]

What would be a good meesage to educators and genral public regarding education?
Q. message (sorry)

A. My message to educators would be to take responsibility and don't hide behind a union. You should be paid based on performance, like practically everyone else. When you mess up, you leave. Teach your students about personal accountability beginning in the classroom. Good education begets good citizens. Let's start doing that soon...please. To the parents of students my message would be one that addresses parental guidance. You should be smarter than your twelve year old child. If you cannot help them with their homework, you need to go back study enough to get beyond their level, so that you may tutor them if the situation arises. Don't worry about sports. Unless your child ends up being a professional athlete, there is little… [cont.]

Where Are The Conservative Educators In The School System?
Q. Our school system is full of intellectual liberals. Sometimes I just wonder where are the conservatives?
Asked by jt.onam - Fri Sep 5 18:58:02 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There are many conservative teachers everywhere - it all just depends on the region, and sometimes comes down to just luck, especially if you go to a public school. If by "conservative" you refer to a moral standard, they're everywhere and you just haven't been looking hard enough. If you're looking specifically for (American or Western European) "Christian" conservatives (such as strong supporters of the Republican Party in America), the public school system is where you probably won't find them (as much) because Americans (and many others worldwide) lean heavily, and often even pride themselves on, the separation of Church and State, and the typical Christian conservative tends to lean towards a slightly differing perspective.
