It's done!
Both my parents are highschool teachers, Dad was teaching to the strong
students, and Mom to those who had learning difficulties (with a few lazies mixed in)... They both had a long career and are now retired... they think I'm crazy.. *grin* Will~ "ahmward" wrote in message . .. You'd be suprised how often those jobs are available. I have a friend who taught at juvenile hall before he became a full time minister. My knitting teacher teaches high school classes to inmates at a private CA prison. There's a high turnover and burnout for those jobs. Audrey "Willow Herself" wrote in message . net... My ideal spot would be to teach in "Juvy" with the kids in jail or with the drop outs coming back.. Not the most paying jobs.. but I did it once (for a 6 weeks sub) and loved it!! Will~ "ahmward" wrote in message ... It puts us all on the same page as far as the basics. I started teaching in 1967 at a Los Angeles high school and there were teachers there who would not have passed today's CBEST in CA. There writing and grammar skills were weak yet they were teaching English. They had gone to tiny colleges in other states and just did not have the same preparation as others. So in the long run, Willow will do fine and you may be suprised how easy it is to work into a job. The young man in the room next to me is 24 and he just got a one year internship paid for by the local state college and it will then turn into a job paid for by the school district at the end of a year. He is a math teacher and there is a shortage. There is a shortage of qualified teachers in many districts throughout the state. Look into adult school too as another possibility. I taught there when I moved from LA to San Diego and I appreciated the maturity of the students. Audrey "teachrmama" wrote in message ... One of the teachers on our staff completed his last course just a few days after the requirement for a new readomg test came into force--so he had to take that test, even though when he started the process, it wasn't a requirement. He was pretty ticked off about it. And I look at what teachers have to go through to get their credentials today, and I am glad I already have mine. Although I do have to jump through a few hoops to maintain my Reading and Lang Arts Specialist credential. You've got to wonder if this really makes us better teachers. "Willow Herself" wrote in message . net... I'm a fully qualified, fully trained teacher, in Canada.. Apparently it's not good enough in California... Lets just say that I'm still very bitter about all the hoops I have to jump through to do what I've already gone through h... to do.. not to mention that once I FINALY start teaching.. I have to go through subbing forever.. and then taking whatever nobody wants... then little by little getting a decent position... Done that once... have to do it all over again.. Will~ second guessing the decision to move again... and again.. and again.. "ahmward" wrote in message . .. Congratulations! This is the way to give yourself a normal work routine, benefits etc. I took the CBEST several years ago and when this little tutoring job came up at the high school, I was certified. Audrey "Willow Herself" wrote in message . net... I did the CBEST TEST this morning!!! Don't know if I passed, will learn only march 5th, but the damned thing is DONE! Will~ |

I don't think it is graded really harshly. I know quite a number of people
who have taken the test, and math has been the complaint. I don't think I know anyone who did not pass writing--and, believe me, I know a couple of people who do not have very strong writing skills. I think they are mostly looking at your ability to organize and express your ideas. You certainly do that quite well here. Anyway, I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. =c) "Willow Herself" wrote in message t... Writting is my weak point.. English is my second language.. Will~ "teachrmama" wrote in message ...
