Re: bad questions
Posted by If you believe this board.. on 10/18/08
I don't think you'll get many useful answers here. Most people will
tell you questions like the following are "bad"
Do I get..
textbooks
photocopies (how many?)
any planning time
help with extreme behavior issues
support if other teachers refuse to comply with IEPS
a salary (how much?)
How do I..
request equipment and/or special materials I need
deal with an out of control student (get help)
get help if I have an irate parent to deal with
Teachers who ask any of these "What's in it for me?" type questions
are immediately labeled whiny spoiled brats and eliminated from
consideration--in almost all districts, period.
Do I believe any of these questions are inapprioprate? NO. But 80% of
the people who post here insist that only lazy whiners who expect to
teach in a Stepford school ask any questions like these and will
immediately be axed from consideration for a job.
I say ask whatever you want/need to know--as long as you use common
sense you should be fine. Avoid questions like "Can we date students"
in all cases :) and know the situation; if the school seems to have a
strict dress code--you see all teachers dressed very professionally--
then don't ask if you can wear jeans. On 10/03/08, thomas wrote:
