School

My son was a certfied bully in preschool. He was the biggest in class then. But now that he’s in a primary school in a multi-level class, he’s mixed with bigger boys. And while he likes hanging out with the bigger boys than kids his age, i think he’s getting bullied. I desperately want him to be a bully again!!!

Help him to start a gang, but them some tough-looking clothes, and show him how to intimidate the weaker kids. He’ll soon regain the respect of his classmates.

I really would like to be a primary school teacher for the grades preschool – 1st grade how many years would i have to go to college for and what are the best colleges to go to?
Thank you.

4 year degree. LOTS of great colleges for Elementary Education. I would start your search with the colleges nearest your home.

I am 15 years old and living in England.

I am currently trying to decide on my A Levels and my future career.
I am leaning towards child psycology/primary school teacher.

How do i become either of them?

Im stuck.

If you want to move to the USA, you need a college degree and a teacher certification in the state you want to live in. If you want to stay in England and teach, you should follow the sound advice of the first answer, lazlouz2. Good luck, Ta.

I am looking for any books on Islam that would be used in a Primary setting. Can anyone suggest any that are used in school or could be?

Islam in the Classroom: what the textbooks tell us samples ten widely adopted junior and senior high school history textbooks.

The review asks:
•How do today’s history textbooks characterize Islam’s foundations and creeds?
•What changes have occurred in textbook material written before 2001? What additions have been made?
•What do textbooks say about terrorism? What do they say about the September 11 air attack on the United States? About weapons of mass destruction? Do textbooks outline Islamic challenges to global security? Do they describe and explain looming dangers to the United States and world?
The review concludes:

•Many political and religious groups try to use the textbook process to their advantage, but the deficiencies in Islam-related lessons are uniquely disturbing. History textbooks present an incomplete and confected view of Islam that misrepresents its foundations and challenges to international security.
•Misinformation about Islam is more pronounced in junior high school textbooks than high school textbooks.
•Outright textbook errors about Islam are not the main problem. The more serious failure is the presence of disputed definitions and claims that are presented as established facts.
•Deficiencies about Islam in textbooks copyrighted before 2001 persist and in some cases have grown worse. Instead of making corrections or adjusting contested facts, publishers and editors defend misinformation and content evasions against the record. Biases persist. Silences are profound and intentional.
•Islamist activists use multiculturalism and ready-made American political movements, especially those on campus, to advance and justify uncritical Islam-related content makeover in history textbooks.
•Particular fault rests with the publishing corporations, the boards of directors, and executives who decide what editorial policies their companies will pursue.
Publishers have developed new world and U.S. history textbooks at three different grade levels. Errors about Islam that occurred in older textbooks have not been corrected but reiterated. Publishers have learned of contested facts and have had the time to correct imbalances. But instead of making changes, they have sustained errors or, in deliberate acts of self-censorship, have removed controversial material.

hello everyone,
i was just wondering if anyone had any information on what subjects i will need to take and which qualifications i will need to become a primary school teacher, i am currently in year 11 at school and thinking about staying on in six form, and focusing my goals to become a primary school teacher, the information is very vital to my progress throughout my time at school, so any information is very appreciated, thanks.

Primary school teachers need to specialise in one subject i.e. Maths, English, Geography, History etc and they do their general teaching course. I’m not 100% on what exact qualification you need but I know you need a degree in one subject. Speak to your careers advisor who I;m sure will tell you exactly what you require. Good luck!

Im male and wishing to pursue this career. Also im 27 years old and have been teaching ESL the last 3 years, have a degree in visual arts and a diploma in psychotherapy, am i too old to apply for the pgce etc? Are there many primary school teacher vacancies?

You are certainly not to old to apply for a PGCE and I would think that with your qualifications you would easily gain a place to train for one.
There are not enough males in primary education. I have taught in several schools in which I was the only male – I once had to share a toilet with nuns – and the more men who can be encouraged to enter teaching at this age level the better, specially bearing in mind that there are thousands of boys and girls for that matter) being brought up with no recognisable father figure in their lives.
Some men seem to think that there is an inherent danger in teaching in junior and/or infant schools. There is not. I’ve done it since 1960 – and still do supply teaching – and have been accused only once of something I did not do. A girl accused me of kicking her chair from under her. The rest of the class soon put the head right on that!! You are far more likely to have problems with older children, especially girls, who are far too street-wise for their own good.
And, believe me, the rewards from primary teaching (I am not referring to salaries here) are boundless and over many years I have had so much pleasure from my chosen profession.
My advice – GO FOR IT!!

I am 24 and i would like to become a primary school teacher. I did my GCSE’s and got all passes but i had a baby at a young age and never finished college. I would like to train as a teacher now that my children are getting into school but i am unsure as to what qualifications i need. Could anyone tell me what A levels and other qualifications i need to get where i want to be please.
Thank you

I have completed my level 2: childcare and learning development (CCLD) and im completing my level 3 CCLD at the minute!
To become a primary school teacher, what would i need to do next?

Its different in each state…best thing you could do would be to talk to someone at your school, or ask someone who is a primary care teacher what your next step is. Alot of times, most of the time, to become a teacher you have to take a big exam (praxis 1 in my state). But like I said, it differs in each state. Another thing you could do would to be to contact the school district you want to look into working for and ask them their requirments. Hope this helps.

Ps. To teach, its usually a 4-6 year degree. : )

Also, if you know any primary/infant school teachers do you find they tend to have a particular personality type?

Yes you earn more if u teach the core subjects…maths..science..english

Personality type: inside school all happy with smiles
outside of school….plastered when marking papers at home!
